A new method to measure the CP violating angle gamma using B^\pm -> pi^\pm pi^+ pi^- and B^\pm -> K^\pm pi^+ pi^- decays

A new and simple procedure to measure the angle $γ$ from $B^{\pm} \to π^{\pm}π^+π^-$ and $B^{\pm} \to K^{\pm}π^+π^-$ 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 $γ$ 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 $γ$ in the next years.

Procedure for direct measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa angle $γ$

A natural procedure is presented to measure the angle $γ$ from the decay $B^{\pm} \to π^{\pm}π^+π^-$. It is based in the Dalitz plot fitting analysis. Neither amplitudes nor strong phases have to be known a priori. We present simulations of this decay computing both statistical and theoretical uncertainties and analyze the experimental feasibility. We found that $γ$ could be measured with a combined error of the order of 20$^o$ with 90% of CL after about a couple of years of running of the first generation of B factories.
