Abstract

A measurement of CP-violating observables is performed using the decays B±→DK± and B±→Dπ±, where the D meson is reconstructed in one of the self-conjugate three-body final states KSπ+π and KSK+K (commonly denoted KSh+h). The decays are analysed in bins of the D-decay phase space, leading to a measurement that is independent of the modelling of the D-decay amplitude. The observables are interpreted in terms of the CKM angle γ. Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9fb−1 collected in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13TeV with the LHCb experiment, γ is measured to be (68.7−5.1+5.2). The hadronic parameters rBDK, rBDπ, δBDK, and δBDπ, which are the ratios and strong-phase differences of the suppressed and favoured B± decays, are also reported.
