After a brief look at the well-known standard approaches to determine the angle gamma of the unitarity triangle, we focus on two kinds of strategies, employing $B\to\pi K$ modes, and U-spin-related B decays. Interesting "puzzles", which may…

The decays $B_d\to \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $B_s\to K^+ K^-$ are related to each other by interchanging all down and strange quarks, i.e. through the $U$-spin flavour symmetry of strong interactions. A completely general parametrization of the…

We give an overview of direct determinations of the angles of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix, using CP-violating effects in B-meson decays. After a discussion of B --> pi K modes, which can be described efficiently through allowed…

The LHCb collaboration has studied various promising ways to determine the Unitarity Triangle angle $\gamma$. Three complementary methods will be considered. The potential of the $B \to DK^{(*)}$ decays has been studied by employing the…

We discuss new, theoretically clean strategies to determine the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle from $B_d\to DK_{S(L)}$, $B_s\to D\eta^{(')}, D\phi, ...$ decays, and point out that the $B_s\to DK_{S(L)}$ and $B_d\to D\pi^0,…

The decay B^0 -> DK^{*0} is well-known to provide excellent potential for a precise measurement of the Unitarity Triangle angle gamma in future experiments. It is noted that the sensitivity can be significantly enhanced by studying the…

The determination of the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix is a challenge for the $B$-factories. In this context, $B\to\pi K$ decays received a lot of attention, providing various interesting ways to constrain and…

Several years ago, it was pointed out that the U-spin-related decays $B_d\to\pi^+\pi^-$, $B_s\to K^+K^-$ and $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$, $B_s\to \pi^\pm K^\mp$ offer interesting strategies for the extraction of the angle gamma of the unitarity…

An improved flavor SU(3) method is presented for determining the weak angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle using decay rates for $B^+\to K\pi, B^+\to K^+\bar K^0$ and $B^+\to \pi^+\eta$ (or $B^0\to K\pi$ and $B_s\to K \pi$), their…

We describe a method for determining gamma using B^+- -> D K^+- decays followed by a multibody D decay. In the talk we focus on K_S pi^- pi^+ final state, but other modes such as D -> K_S K^- K^+ and D -> K_S pi^- pi^+ pi^0 can also be…

U-spin multiplet approach is applied to the full set of charmless hadronic B+/- --> M0 M+/- decays for the purpose of precise extraction of the unitarity angle gamma. Each of the four data sets, P0 P+/-, P0 V+/-, V0 P+/- and V0 V+/-, with P…

It is shown that it is possible to perform a model-independent extraction of the CKM Unitarity Triangle angle $\gamma$ using only the decays $B^0\to D K^+\pi^-$ with $D\to K^0_S\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B^0\to D K^+\pi^-$ with flavour-specific $D$…

The potential for a precise measurement of the Unitarity Triangle angle $\gamma$ in future experiments from the decay $B^0 \to DK^{*0}$ is well-known. It has recently been suggested that the sensitivity can be significantly enhanced by…

Using updated measurements and SU(3)-breaking form factors, we have a detailed look at the B_d -> pi^+ pi^-, B_s -> K^+ K^- and B_d -> pi^\mp K^\pm, B_s -> pi^\pm K^\mp systems. The corresponding decays are related to each other by the…

A method is described which, under the assumption of SU(3) symmetry, allows one to determine the angle gamma=Arg(Vub^*) of the unitarity triangle from time-independent measurements of the branching ratios for the decays B^+ -> pi^0 K^+ and…

We examine the impact of D-Dbar mixing in the extraction of the angle gamma of the unitarity triangle with B- ->D(*)K(*)- and B- ->D(*)pi- decays. We point out that the leading corrections, linear in the small mixing parameters x=Delta…

Several new strategies to extract CKM phases, including a determination of $\gamma$ from $B_{s(d)}\to J/\psi K_S$ decays and a general approach, which makes use of the angular distributions of certain $B_{d,s}$ modes, such as $B_d\to J/\psi…

On behalf of the Babar and Belle collaborations, we report on the measurement of the angle gamma and on the sum of angles 2 beta+gamma of the Unitarity Triangle.

We present a new analysis of B_{d,s}->KK modes within the SM, relating them in a controlled way through SU(3)-flavour symmetry and QCD-improved factorisation. We propose a set of sum rules for B_{d,s}-> K^0{\bar K}^0 observables. We…

To date, the weak-phase $\gamma$ has been measured using two-body $B$-meson decays such as $B\to D K$ and $B\to D\pi$, whose amplitudes contain only tree-level diagrams. But $\gamma$ can also be extracted from three-body charmless hadronic…
