Abstract

An analysis of the decays of BDK and BDπ is presented in which the D meson is reconstructed in the three-body final states Kπ±π0, π+ππ0 and K+Kπ0. Using data from LHCb corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0fb1 of pp collisions, measurements of several CP observables are performed. First observations are obtained of the suppressed Atwood-Dunietz-Soni decay B[πK±π0]Dπ and the quasi-Gronau-London-Wyler decay B[K+Kπ0]Dπ. The results are interpreted in the context of the unitarity triangle angle γ and related parameters.

  • Figure 1
    Figure 1

    Invariant mass distributions of selected B[Kπ±π0]Dh candidates, separated by B hadron charge. BDK signal events are in the upper plots and BDπ events are in the lower plots. The solid dark (red) curve represents BDK events and the solid light (green) curve represents BDπ events. The solid (grey) shape indicates partially reconstructed B decays and the heavy dotted (red) curve indicates wrongly reconstructed D decays. The solid (blue) line represents the total PDF and includes the combinatorial component.

    Invariant mass distributions of selected B[πK±π0]Dh candidates. See the caption of Fig. 1 for a full description. The lightly dotted (blue) line represents the combinatorial component and the long-dashed (magenta) line indicates contributions from partially reconstructed Bs0DKπ± decays where the pion is not reconstructed.

    Scan of the χ2 probabilities over the γrB parameter space. Shown are the nσ profile likelihood contours, where Δχ2=n2, with n=1 being the light (blue) shaded region, n=2 the dark (blue) shaded region and n=3 corresponding to the white area. The result is seen to be compatible with the current LHCb measurement of γ and rB, indicated by the point with error bars.
