Abstract

Various methods are discussed for obtaining the CKM angle γ through the interference of the charged B-meson decay channels BKD0 and BKD0 where the D0 and D0 decay to common final states. It is found that choosing final states which are not CP eigenstates can lead to large direct CP violation which can give significant bounds on γ without any theoretical assumptions. If two or more modes are studied, γ may be extracted with a precision on the order of ±15° given 108 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 DD¯ oscillations.
