Abstract

Measurements of $CP$ observables in $B^\pm \to D K^\pm$ and $B^\pm \to D \pi^\pm$ decays are presented, where $D$ represents a superposition of $D^0$ and $\bar{D}^0$ states. The $D$ meson is reconstructed in the three-body final state $K_{\rm{S}}^0K^\pm \pi^\mp$. The analysis uses samples of $B$ mesons produced in proton-proton collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0, 2.0, and 6.0 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s} = $ 7, 8, and 13 TeV, respectively. These measurements are the most precise to date, and provide important input for the determination of the CKM angle $\gamma$.

Comparison with SM expectations for results within the $ K ^{*+}$ region, using current world-average parameter values. The dashed blue line indicates the expected SM value, and the shaded dark (light) blue regions indicate the 68% (95%) confidence-level intervals. The results are shown as black points with black (red) error bars indicating the statistical (total) uncertainty.
