A first study of CP violation in the decay modes $B^pmto [K^0_{rm S} K^pm pi^mp]_D h^pm$ and $B^pmto [K^0_{rm S} K^mp pi^pm]_D h^pm$, where $h$ labels a $K$ or $pi$ meson and $D$ labels a $D^0$ or $overline{D}^0$ meson, is performed. The analysis uses the LHCb data set collected in $pp$ collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$. The analysis is sensitive to the CP-violating CKM phase $gamma$ through seven observables: one charge asymmetry in each of the four modes and three ratios of the charge-integrated yields. The results are consistent with measurements of $gamma$ using other decay modes.

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.
A search for CP violation in Cabibbo-suppressed $D^{pm}rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}} K^{pm}$ and $D^{pm}_{s}rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}} pi^{pm}$ decays is performed using $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3~fb$^{-1}$, recorded by the LHCb experiment. The individual $CP$-violating asymmetries are measured to be begin{eqnarray*} mathcal{A}_{CP}^{D^{pm}rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}} K^{pm}} & = & (+0.03 pm 0.17 pm 0.14) % mathcal{A}_{CP}^{D^{pm}_{s}rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}} pi^{pm}} & = & (+0.38 pm 0.46 pm 0.17) %, end{eqnarray*} assuming that $CP$ violation in the Cabibbo-favoured decays is negligible. A combination of the measured asymmetries for the four decay modes $D^{pm}_{(s)}rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}} K^{pm}$ and $D^{pm}_{(s)}rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}} pi^{pm}$ gives the sum [ mathcal{A}_{CP}^{D^{pm}rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}} K^{pm}} + mathcal{A}_{CP}^{D^{pm}_{s}rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}} pi^{pm}} = (+0.41 pm 0.49 pm 0.26) %. ] In all cases, the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The results represent the most precise measurements of these asymmetries to date and show no evidence for CP violation.
Measurements of $C!P$ 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 meson and anti-meson 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. Decays of the $D$ meson are 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 proton-proton collisions and collected with the LHCb experiment, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 2.0, 1.0, and 5.7 fb$^{-1}$ taken at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, respectively. The measurements of partially reconstructed $B^pm to D^* K^pm$ and $B^pm to D^* pi^pm$ with $D to K^mp pi^pm$ decays are the first of their kind, and a first observation of the $B^pm to (D pi^0)_{D^*} pi^pm$ decay is made with a significance of 6.1 standard deviations. All $C!P$ observables are measured with world-best precision, and in combination with other LHCb results will provide strong constraints on the CKM angle $gamma$.
The first amplitude analysis of the $B^pm to pi^pm K^+ K^-$ decay is reported based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions recorded in 2011 and 2012 with the LHCb detector. The data is found to be best described by a coherent sum of five resonant structures plus a nonresonant component and a contribution from $pipi leftrightarrow KK$ $S$-wave rescattering. The dominant contributions in the $pi^pm K^mp$ and $K^{+}K^{-}$ systems are the nonresonant and the $B^pm to rho(1450)^{0}pi^{pm}$ amplitudes, respectively, with fit fractions around $30%$. For the rescattering contribution, a sizeable fit fraction is observed. This component has the largest $CP$ asymmetry reported to date for a single amplitude of $(-66 pm 4 pm 2)%$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. No significant $CP$ violation is observed in the other contributions.
