Invariant mass distributions of selected $ B ^\pm \rightarrow [ K ^\pm \pi ^\mp ]_{D}h^{\pm}$ candidates, separated by charge, with $ B ^- {\rm(} B ^+ {\rm)}$ candidates on the left (right). The top plots contain the $ B ^\pm \rightarrow DK^{\pm}$ candidate sample, as defined by a PID requirement on the bachelor particle. The remaining candidates are placed in the bottom row, reconstructed with a pion hypothesis for the bachelor. The red (thick, open) and green (hatched-area) curves represent the $ B ^\pm \rightarrow D K ^\pm $ and $ B ^\pm \rightarrow D \pi ^\pm $ signals. The shaded part indicates partially reconstructed decays, the dotted line, where visible, shows the combinatorial component, and the total PDF is drawn as a thin blue line.

Invariant mass distributions of selected $ B ^\pm \rightarrow [\pi ^\pm K ^\mp ]_{D}h^{\pm}$ decays, separated by charge. The dashed pink line left of the signal peak shows partially reconstructed $ B _{s}^{0} \rightarrow [ K ^+ \pi ^- ]_D K ^- \pi ^+ $ decays, where the bachelor pion is missed. The favoured mode cross-feed is also included in the fit, but is too small to be seen. See the caption of Fig. 1 for other definitions.

Invariant mass distributions of selected $ B ^\pm \rightarrow [\pi ^+ \pi ^- ]_{D}h^{\pm}$ candidates, separated by charge. The dashed black line represents the residual contribution from charmless decays. This component is present in the $D$ final states considered, but is most visible in this case. See the caption of Fig. 1 for other definitions.

Invariant mass distributions of selected $ B ^\pm \rightarrow [ K ^+ K ^- ]_{D}h^{\pm}$ candidates, separated by charge. The dashed cyan line represents partially reconstructed $\Lambda ^0_ b \rightarrow [p^+ K ^- \pi ^+ ]_\Lambda ^+_ c h^-$ decays, where the pion is missed and the proton is misidentified as a kaon. See the caption of Fig. 1 for other definitions.

Invariant mass distributions of selected $ B ^\pm \rightarrow [ K ^\pm \pi ^\mp \pi ^+ \pi ^- ]_{D}h^{\pm}$ candidates, separated by charge. See the caption of Fig. 1 for the definitions.

Invariant mass distributions of selected $ B ^\pm \rightarrow [\pi ^\pm K ^\mp \pi ^+ \pi ^- ]_{D}h^{\pm}$ candidates, separated by charge. The dashed pink line left of the signal peak shows partially reconstructed $ B _{s}^{0} \rightarrow [ K ^+ \pi ^- \pi ^+ \pi ^- ]_D K ^- \pi ^+ $ decays, where the bachelor pion is missed. See the caption of Fig. 1 for other definitions.

Invariant mass distributions of selected $ B ^\pm \rightarrow [\pi ^+ \pi ^- \pi ^+ \pi ^- ]_{D}h^{\pm}$ candidates, separated by charge. The dashed black line represents the residual contribution from charmless decays. See the caption of Fig. 1 for other definitions.

Comparison of selected results with the SM expectation (shaded) based on existing knowledge of the underlying parameters and $ D $ -decay measurements, as described in the text. The first five rows show $ B ^- \rightarrow D K ^- $ observables, two-body $D$ decay on the left and four-body on the right. The last three rows show $ B ^- \rightarrow D\pi ^- $ observables.

Signal yields as measured in the $ B ^- \rightarrow [h^+h^-]_{D}h^-$ and $ B ^- \rightarrow [h^+h^-\pi ^+ \pi ^- ]_{D}h^-$ invariant mass fits, together with their statistical uncertainties.

Systematic uncertainties for the $ B ^- \rightarrow [h^+h^-]_{D}h^-$ $ C P$ observables quoted as a percentage of the statistical uncertainty on the observable. PID refers to the PID calibration procedure. Bkg refers to the choice of background shapes and yields in the fit. Sim refers to the use of finite samples of simulated events to determine efficiency ratios. Asym refers to the fixed pion and kaon detection asymmetries, and the assumption of no $ C P$ violation in $ B ^- \rightarrow D ^0 \pi ^- $ decays.
