Final-state rescattering and SU(3) symmetry breaking in $B\rightarrow DK$ and $B\rightarrow DK^*$ decays

Relating Final State Interactions in B → Dπ and B → DK

A Regge model calculation relates the strong phase in B → DK to that in B → Dπ. This provides a significant test of a hadronic picture of final state interactions in B decays.

Final State Interaction Effects on Γ from B → Dk

The implications of a negligible annihilation contribution in B → DK decays are reanalyzed and are shown to lead to no new constraints on the weak phase γ from color-allowed B → DK decays. A test of negligible annihilation is proposed in B → DK (or B → DK), and an application is presented in which γ can be determined from these processes (or corresponding B → DK decays) supplemented with isospi...

Exploring CP Violation with B 0 d → DK S Decays

We (re)examine CP violation in the decays B d → DKS, where D represents D, D0, or one of their excited states. The quantity sin(2β + γ) can be extracted from the time-dependent rates for B d(t) → D̄KS and B d(t) → DKS, where the D decays to Dπ. If one considers a non-CP-eigenstate hadronic final state to which both D0 and D can decay (e.g. Kπ), then one can obtain two of the angles of the unitar...

Determining g using B\DK with multibody D decays

is to utilize the interference between the b→cūs and b →uc̄s decay amplitudes @1–12#. Because these transitions involve only distinct quark flavors, there are no penguin contributions to these decays. In the original idea of Gronau and Wyler ~GW! @3# the B→DCPK decay modes are used, where DCP represents a D meson which decays into a CP eigenstate. The dependence on g arises from the interference...
