Determination of the CKM phase γ at LHCb using the decay mode B± to DK± and a study of the decays D0 to KS0K±π∓ using data from the CLEO experiment

Abstract:

This thesis documents studies of CP violation in B± to [KS0h⁺h⁻]DK±, (h = π/K) decays using data taken by the LHCb experiment during 2011, and the first measurement of γ to be made at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), γ = (45+43-38) degrees.

Also included is a study of D0 to KS0K∓π± decays using CLEO III and CLEO-c data, resulting in the first amplitude models to be published for these decays and a measurement of the ratio of their branching fractions.
