We report a study of the suppressed $B^-to DK^-pi^+pi^-$ and favored $B^-to Dpi^-pi^+pi^-$ decays, where the neutral $D$ meson is detected through its decays to the $K^{mp}pi^{pm}$ and CP-even $K^+K^-$ and $pi^+pi^-$ final states. The measurement is carried out using a proton-proton collision data sample collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0~fb$^{-1}$. We observe the first significant signals in the CP-even final states of the $D$ meson for both the suppressed $B^-to DK^-pi^+pi^-$ and favored $B^-to Dpi^-pi^+pi^-$ modes, as well as in the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed $Dto K^+pi^-$ final state of the $B^-to Dpi^-pi^+pi^-$ decay. Evidence for the ADS suppressed decay $B^{-}to DK^-pi^+pi^-$, with $Dto K^+pi^-$, is also presented. From the observed yields in the $B^-to DK^-pi^+pi^-$, $B^-to Dpi^-pi^+pi^-$ and their charge conjugate decay modes, we measure the value of the weak phase to be $gamma=(74^{+20}_{-19})^{rm o}$. This is one of the most precise single-measurement determinations of $gamma$ to date.

A binning scheme is proposed for $D^0 to K^+pi^-pi^-pi^+ $ phase space that will improve the sensitivity of a $B^- to DK^-$ analysis to the angle $gamma$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa Unitarity Triangle. The scheme makes use of amplitude models recently reported by the LHCb collaboration. Assuming that a four-bin scheme optimised on the models retains a similar sensitivity when applied in data, it is estimated that the statistical uncertainty on $gamma$ from the $B$-meson sample so far collected by the LHCb experiment will be as low as 5 degrees. This will be one of the most precise results available for any single decay mode in a $B^- to D K^-$ measurement. Quantum-correlated $Dbar{D}$ data accumulated by the CLEO-c experiment are analysed to provide first constraints on the coherence factors and average strong-phase differences in the four bins, which are necessary inputs for the measurement. These constraints are compared with the predictions of the model, and consequences for the measurement of $gamma$ are discussed.
A new and simple procedure to measure the angle $gamma$ from $B^{pm} to pi^{pm}pi^+pi^-$ and $B^{pm} to K^{pm}pi^+pi^-$ decays using SU(3) symmetry is presented. It is based on a full Dalitz plot analysis of these decays. All diagrams, including strong and electroweak penguins, are considered in the procedure. The method is also free from final state interaction problems. The theoretical error in the extraction of $gamma$ within the method should be of the order of $10^{rm o}$ or even less. Taking into account the B-meson production in the first generation of B factories and recent measurements from CLEO, this method could bring the best measurement of $gamma$ in the next years.
The Dalitz plot analysis technique is used to study the resonant substructures of $B^{-} to D^{+} pi^{-} pi^{-}$ decays in a data sample corresponding to 3.0 ${rm fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. A model-independent analysis of the angular moments demonstrates the presence of resonances with spins 1, 2 and 3 at high $D^{+}pi^{-}$ mass. The data are fitted with an amplitude model composed of a quasi-model-independent function to describe the $D^{+}pi^{-}$ S-wave together with virtual contributions from the $D^{*}(2007)^{0}$ and $B^{*0}$ states, and components corresponding to the $D^{*}_{2}(2460)^{0}$, $D^{*}_{1}(2680)^{0}$, $D^{*}_{3}(2760)^{0}$ and $D^{*}_{2}(3000)^{0}$ resonances. The masses and widths of these resonances are determined together with the branching fractions for their production in $B^{-} to D^{+} pi^{-} pi^{-}$ decays. The $D^{+}pi^{-}$ S-wave has phase motion consistent with that expected due to the presence of the $D^{*}_{0}(2400)^{0}$ state. These results constitute the first observations of the $D^{*}_{3}(2760)^{0}$ and $D^{*}_{2}(3000)^{0}$ resonances.
We report measurements of the branching fractions and direct CP asymmetries (A_{CP}) for B->K pi, pi pi and KK decays (but not pi^0 pi^0) based on the final data sample of 772x10^6 B B-bar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+ e^- collider. We set a 90% confidence-level upper limit for K^+- K^-+ at 2.0x10^{-7}; all other decays are observed with branching fractions ranging from 10^{-6} to 10^{-5}. In the $B^0/B^0-bar -> K^+-pi^-+ mode, we confirm Belles previously reported large A_{CP} with a value of -0.069 +- 0.014 +- 0.007 and a significance of 4.4 sigma. For all other flavor-specific modes, we find A_{CP} values consistent with zero, including A_{CP}(K^+- pi^0) = +0.043 +- 0.024 +- 0.007 with 1.8 sigma significance. The difference of CP asymmetry between B^+- -> K^+- pi^0 and B^0/B^0-bar -> K^+-pi^-+ is found to be Delta A_{K pi} equiv A_{CP} (K^+ pi^0) - A_{CP}(K^+ pi^-) = +0.112 +- 0.027 +- 0.007 with 4.0 sigma significance. We also calculate the ratios of partial widths for the B-> K pi decays. Using our results, we test the validity of the sum rule A_{CP}(K^+ pi^-) + A_{CP}(K^0pi^+) x Gamma(K^0pi^+)/Gamma(K^+ pi^-)} - A_{CP}(K^+ pi^0)x 2Gamma(K^+ pi^0)/Gamma(K^+ pi^-) - A_{CP}(K^0 pi^0)x 2Gamma(K^0 pi^0)/Gamma(K^+ pi^-) = 0 and obtain a sum of -0.270 +- 0.132 +- 0.060 with 1.9 sigma significance.
Using a data sample of $772 times 10^6$ BB pairs collected on the ${Upsilon}(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider, we report the observations of $B^0to p{bar p}pi^+pi^-$ and $B^+ to p{bar p}pi^+pi^0$. We measure a decay branching fraction of $(0.83 pm 0.17 pm 0.17) times 10^-6$ in $B^0to p{bar p}pi^+pi^-$ for $M_{pi^+pi^-} < 1.22 GeV/c^2$ with a significance of 5.5 standard deviations. The contribution from $B0 to p{bar p}K^0$ is excluded. We measure a decay branching fraction of $(4.58 pm 1.17 pm 0.67) times 10^-6$ for $B^+ to p{bar p}pi^+pi^0$ with $M_{pi^+pi^0} < 1.3 GeV/c^2$ with a significance of 5.4 standard deviations. We study the difference of the $M_{p{bar p}}$ distributions in $B^0to p{bar p}pi^+pi^-$ and $B^+ to p{bar p}pi^+pi^0$.
