Lhcb Strategies for Γ from B → Dk

One of the most promising ways to determine the angle γ of the CKM unitarity triangle is through measurement of the tree level processes B → DK. The LHCb collaboration has studied the potential of these decays employing the Atwood-Dunietz-Soni (ADS) and Dalitz methods, making use of a large sample of simulated data. For each method the expected sensitivities to the angle γ are presented in this...

Plant Biotechnology 23, 25–31 (2006)

To produce white-flowered gentian plants, we attempted to suppress the chalcone synthase (chs) gene by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. A binary vector, pSMABcCHS, harboring antisense cDNA of chs isolated from the gentian Gentiana triflora cv. Maciry under control of the CaMV35S promoter was transformed into an interspecific hybrid gentian (cv. Albireo; G. scabra G. triflora). The vector ...

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.

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...
