Abstract
Various methods are discussed for obtaining the CKM angle through the interference of the charged B-meson decay channels and where the and decay to common final states. It is found that choosing final states which are not eigenstates can lead to large direct violation which can give significant bounds on without any theoretical assumptions. If two or more modes are studied, may be extracted with a precision on the order of given B-mesons. We also discuss the case of three body decays of the D where additional information may be obtained from the distribution of the D decay products and consider the impact of oscillations.
