The angle $\gamma$ of the CKM triangle can be measured comparing $V_{cb}$ and $V_{ub}$ mediated transitions in $B \rightarrow D^{(*)}K^{(*)}$ decays. The decays proceed through the following diagrams: Gamma From Trees Diagrams

These diagrams are practically free from the New Physics contribution. There are three methods to extract relevant information, each of them deals with its own $D^{0}$ decay:

a singly Cabibbo-suppressed CP eigenstate, like $D^{0}\rightarrow h^+h^-$ for Gronau-London-Wyler (GLW) method;
a doubly Cabibbo-suppressed flavor eigenstate, like $D^{0}\rightarrow K^+\pi^-$ for Atwood-Dunietz-Soni (ADS) method;
a Cabibbo-allowed self-conjugate 3-body state, like $D^{0} \rightarrow K_{S}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ for Giri-Grossman-Soffer-Zupan (GGSZ) method.

Generally, the observables of the methods also depend on the amplitude ratio $r_{B}\equiv\frac{A( b\to u)}{A( b\to c)}$ and the relative

conserving phase $\delta_{B}$ between the two amplitudes. These parameters depend on the

decay under investigation.

Gronau London Wyler method:

The Gronau-London-Wyler (GLW) method (M. Gronau D. Wyler Phys.Lett. B265 (1991) 172; M. Gronau, D. London, Phys.Lett. B253 (1991) 483) is based on the reconstruction of the

decay to $D^{0} K$ , where $D^{0}$ and $\bar D^{0}$ decay to

-even or

-odd eigenstates. The

modes normally used are:

: $K^{+}K^{-}$ , $\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ ;
: $K_S\pi^0$ , $\phi K_S$ , $\eta K_S$ , $\rho K_S$ , and $\omega K_{S}$ .

For the normalization, $B^{+} \rightarrow \bar D^{0} K^{+}$ , with $\bar D^0 \rightarrow K^+ \pi^-$ is also reconstructed. The four observables for this method are formed in the following way: $R_{CP^{\pm}}=\frac{\Gamma(B^{+}\rightarrow D^0_{\pm}K^+)+\Gamma(B^-\rightarrow D^0_{\pm} K^{-})}{\Gamma(B^{+}\rightarrow D^0 K^+)+\Gamma(B^-\rightarrow \bar D^0 K^{-})}=1+r_{B}^2\pm 2 r_{B}\cos\gamma\cos\delta_{B},$ $A_{CP^{\pm}}=\frac{\Gamma(B^{+}\rightarrow D^{0}_{\pm} K^{+})-\Gamma(B^{-}\rightarrow D^{0}_{\pm} K^{-})}{\Gamma(B^{+}\rightarrow D^{0}_{\pm} K^{+})+\Gamma(B^{-}\rightarrow D^{0}_{\pm} K^{-})}=\frac{\pm 2 r_{B} \sin\gamma\sin\delta_{B}}{R_{CP^{\pm}}}.$ This set can provide an information on $\gamma$ , $\delta_{B}$ , and $r_{B}$ with an 8-fold ambiguity for the phases.

Atwood Dunitz Soni Method:

In the ADS method, D. Atwood, I. Dunietz and A. Soni, Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 3257 (1997), $\gamma$ is measured from the study of $B\rightarrow DK$ decays, where

mesons decay into non

eigenstate final states. The suppression of $b\rightarrow u$ transition with respect to the $b \rightarrow c$ one is partly overcome by the study of decays of the

meson in final states which can proceed in two ways: either through a favored $b \rightarrow c$

decay followed by a doubly-Cabibbo-suppressed

decay, or through a suppressed $b \rightarrow u$

decay followed by a Cabibbo-favored

decay. Neglecting

-mixing effects, which in the SM give very small corrections to \g\ and do not affect the $r_{B}$ measurement, the measured ratios $R_{ADS}$ and $A_{ADS}$ are related to the

and

mesons' decay parameters through the following relations: $R_{\rm ADS}=\frac{\Gamma(B^{+}\rightarrow [\bar f]_{D^{0}} K^{+})+\Gamma(B^{-}\rightarrow [f]_{D^{0}} K^{-})}{\Gamma(B^{+}\to[f]_{D^{0}} K^{+})+\Gamma(B^{-}\to[\bar f]_{D^{0}} K^{-})}=(r_{B}^2+r_{D}^2+2 r_{B} r_{D} k_{D}k_{B}\cos\gamma\cos\delta),$ $A_{\rm ADS}=\frac{\Gamma(B^{+}\rightarrow [\bar f]_{D^{0}} K^{+})-\Gamma(B^{-}\rightarrow [f]_{D^{0}} K^{-})}{\Gamma(B^{+}\to[f]_{D^{0}} K^{+})+\Gamma(B^{-}\to[\bar f]_{D^{0}} K^{-})}=(r_{B}^2+r_{D}^2+2 r_{B} r_{D} k_{D}k_{B}\sin\gamma\sin\delta)/R_{\rm ADS},$ with: $r_{D}^2 \equiv\frac{\Gamma(D^0\to f)}{\Gamma(D^{0}\to \bar f)}=\frac{\int dm\, A_{\rm DCS}(m)}{\int dm\, A_{\rm CA}(m)},$ $k_{D} e^{i \delta_{D}}= \frac{\int dm\, A_{\rm DCS}(m)A_{\rm CA}e^{i\delta(m)}}{\sqrt{\int dp\, A_{\rm DCS}^2(p)\int dp\, A_{\rm CA}^2(p)}},$ In case of the $B\to D^{0} K$ analysis with $D^{0}\to K\pi\pi^0$ we use the following ratios: $R^{\pm}=\frac{\Gamma(B^{\pm}\rightarrow [\bar f]_{D^{0}} K^{\pm})}{\Gamma(B^{\pm}\to[f]_{D^{0}} K^{\pm})}=(r_{B}^2+r_{D}^2+2 r_{B} r_{D} k_{D}k_{B}\cos(\gamma\pm\delta)),$ The used observables are connected to the "classical" $R_{\rm ADS}$ and $A_{\rm ADS}$ set by simple relations: $R_{\rm ADS}=\frac{R^{+}+R^{-}}{2}$ and $A_{\rm ADS}=\frac{R^{-}-R^{+}}{R^{-}+R^{+}}$ . The values of $k_{D}$ and $\delta_D$ are taken from our study of charm mixing or the CLEO-c collaboration results. The ratio r_D

has been measured in different experiments and we take the average value from PDG.

Giri Grossman Soffer Zupan (GGSZ) method:

The Giri Grossman Soffer Zupan (GGSZ), also called Dalitz method (A. Giri, Y. Grossman, A. Soffer and J. Zupan, Phys. Rev. D 68, 054018 (2003)) is based on the reconstruction of the

decay to $D^{0} K$ , where $D^{0}$ and $\bar D^{0}$ decay $K_S^{0}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ ; The four observables for this method are formed in the following way: $x_{\pm}=r_{B}\cos(\gamma\pm\delta_{B}),$ $y_{\pm}=r_{B}\sin(\gamma\pm\delta_{B}),$

Methods used:
