We report measurements of branching fractions and time-dependent CP asymmetries in $B^{0} to D^{+}D^{-}$ and $B^{0} to D^{*pm}D^{mp}$ decays using a data sample that contains $(772 pm 11)times 10^6 Bbar{B}$ pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. We determine the branching fractions to be $mathcal{B}(B^{0} to D^{+}D^{-})=(2.12 pm 0.16 pm 0.18)times 10^{-4}$ and $mathcal{B}(B^{0} to D^{*pm}D^{mp}=(6.14 pm 0.29 pm 0.50)times 10^{-4}$. We measure CP asymmetry parameters $mathcal{S}_{D^{+}D^{-}} = -1.06_{-0.14}^{+0.21} pm 0.08$ and $mathcal{C}_{D^{+}D^{-}} = -0.43 pm 0.16 pm 0.05$ in $B^{0} to D^{+}D^{-}$ and $mathcal{A}_{D^{*}D} = +0.06 pm 0.05 pm 0.02$, $mathcal{S}_{D^{*}D} = -0.78 pm 0.15 pm 0.05$, $mathcal{C}_{D^{*}D} = -0.01 pm 0.11 pm 0.04$, $Deltamathcal{S}_{D^{*}D} = -0.13 pm 0.15 pm 0.04$ and $Deltamathcal{C}_{D^{*}D} = +0.12 pm 0.11 pm 0.03$ in $B^{0} to D^{*pm}D^{mp}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. We exclude the conservation of CP symmetry in both decays at equal to or greater than $4sigma$ significance.

The decay mode $B^{0}_{s} to D^{mp}_{s} K^{pm} $ allows for one of the theoretically cleanest measurements of the CKM angle $gamma$ through the study of time-dependent $ensuremath{CP}xspace$ violation. This paper reports a measurement of its branching fraction relative to the Cabibbo-favoured mode $B^{0}_{s} to D^{-}_{s} pi^{+}$ based on a data sample of 0.37 fb$^{-1}$ proton-proton collisions at $sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV collected in 2011 with the LHCb detector. In addition, the ratio of $ensuremath{mathrm{B}}xspace$ meson production fractions $ensuremath{f_s/f_d}$, determined from semileptonic decays, together with the known branching fraction of the control channel $B^{0} to D^{-} pi^{+}$, is used to perform an absolute measurement of the branching fractions: $B (B^0_s to D^-_s pi^+) ;= (2.95 pm 0.05 pm 0.17^{,+,0.18}_{,-,0.22}) times 10^{-3}$, $B (B^0_s to D^mp_s K^pm) = (1.90 pm 0.12 pm 0.13^{,+,0.12}_{,-,0.14}) times 10^{-4},$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second the experimental systematic uncertainty, and the third the uncertainty due to $f_s/f_d$.
The decay-time-dependent $CP$ asymmetry in $B^0 to D^{*pm}D^{mp}$ decays is measured using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9$fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The $CP$ parameters are measured as $ S_{D^*D} = -0.861 pm 0.077,text{(stat)} pm 0.019 ,text{(syst)},, $ $ Delta S_{D^*D} = 0.019 pm 0.075 ,text{(stat)} pm 0.012 ,text{(syst)} ,, $ $ C_{D^*D} = -0.059 pm 0.092 ,text{(stat)} pm 0.020 ,text{(syst)} ,, $ $ Delta C_{D^*D} = -0.031 pm 0.092 ,text{(stat)} pm 0.016 ,text{(syst)} ,, $ $ {cal A}_{D^*D} = 0.008 pm 0.014 ,text{(stat)} pm 0.006 ,text{(syst)},. $ The analysis provides the most precise single measurement of $CP$ violation in this decay channel to date. All parameters are consistent with their current world average values.
A measurement of the $CP$ asymmetries $S_{f}$ and $S_{bar{f}}$ in $B^0to D^{mp}pi^{pm}$ decays is reported. The decays are reconstructed in a dataset collected with the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0 rm{ fb}^{-1}$. The $CP$ asymmetries are measured to be $S_{f} = 0.058 pm 0.020 (rm{stat}) pm 0.011(rm{syst})$ and $S_{bar{f}} = 0.038pm 0.020 (text{stat})pm 0.007 (text{syst})$. These results are in agreement with, and more precise than, previous determinations. They are used to constrain $|sinleft(2beta+gammaright)|$ and $gamma$ to intervals that are consistent with the current world-average values.
Measurements of $CP$ observables in $B^pm rightarrow D^{(*)} K^pm$ and $B^pm rightarrow D^{(*)} pi^pm$ decays are presented, where $D^{(*)}$ indicates a neutral $D$ or $D^*$ meson that is an admixture of $D^{(*)0}$ and $bar{D}^{(*)0}$ states. Decays of the $D^*$ meson to the $Dpi^0$ and $Dgamma$ final states are partially reconstructed without inclusion of the neutral pion or photon, resulting in distinctive shapes in the $B$ candidate invariant mass distribution. Decays of the $D$ meson are fully reconstructed in the $K^pm pi^mp$, $K^+ K^-$ and $pi^+ pi^-$ final states. The analysis uses a sample of charged $B$ mesons produced in $pp$ collisions collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.0, 1.0 and 2.0 fb$^{-1}$ taken at centre-of-mass energies of $sqrt{s}$ = 7, 8 and 13 TeV, respectively. The study of $B^{pm} to D^{*} K^{pm}$ and $B^{pm} to D^{*} pi^{pm}$ decays using a partial reconstruction method is the first of its kind, while the measurement of $B^{pm} to D K^{pm}$ and $B^{pm} to D pi^{pm}$ decays is an update of previous LHCb measurements. The $B^{pm} to D K^{pm}$ results are the most precise to date.
