The Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix [1, 2] consists of weak-interaction parameters for the quark sector, and the phase φ (also known as γ) is defined by the elements of the CKM matrix as φ ≡ 3 3 arg(−V V ∗/V V ∗). This phase is less accurately measured than the two other ud ub cd cb angles φ (β) and φ (α) of the unitarity triangle.∗ 1 2 In the usual quark phase convention where large complex phases appear only in V and V [3], the measurement of φ is equivalent to the extraction of the phase ub td 3 of V relative to the phases of other CKM matrix elements except for V . Figure 1 ub td shows the diagrams for B− → D¯0K− (b → u) and B− → D0K− (b → c) decays.† By analyzing the interfering processes produced when D¯0 and D0 decay to the same final states, we extract φ as well as relevant dynamical parameters. We define the 3 magnitude of the ratio of amplitudes r = |A(B− → D¯0K−)/A(B− → D0K−)| and B thestrong phasedifference δ = δ(B− → D¯0K−)−δ(B− → D0K−), which arecrucial B parameters needed in the extraction of φ . In this report, we show recent results by 3 the Belle collaboration on the determination of φ . 3 b u s D¯0 K− W− c¯ W− u¯ B− s b c K− B− D0 u¯ u¯ u¯ u¯ Figure 1: Diagrams for the B− → D¯0K− and B− → D0K− decays. 2 Result for B− → D(∗)K−, D → K π+π− S One of most promising ways of measuring φ uses the decay B− → DK−, D → 3 K π+π− [4, 5], where D indicates D¯0 or D0. The method is based on the fact that S the amplitudes for B± can be expressed by M = f(m2,m2)+r e±iφ3+iδBf(m2,m2), (1) ± ± ∓ B ∓ ± where m2 are defined as Dalitz plot variables m2 ≡ m2 , and f(m2,m2) is the ± ± KSπ± + − amplitude of the D¯0 → K π+π− decay. By applying a fit on m2, φ is extracted with S ± 3 ∗ The angles φ1 and φ2 are defined as φ1 ≡ arg(−VcdVcb∗/VtdVtb∗) and φ2 ≡ arg(−VtdVtb∗/VudVub∗). † Charge conjugate modes are implicitly included unless otherwise stated. 1 r and δ . The decay B− → D∗K− can also be used by reconstructing D∗ from Dπ0 B B or Dγ, for which the parameters r∗ and δ∗ are introduced. B B The result [6] is based on a data sample that contains 6.6×108 BB¯ pairs. The amplitude f(m2,m2) is obtained by a large sample of D¯0 → K π+π− decays pro- + − S duced in continuum e+e− annihilation, where the isobar model is assumed with Breit- Wigner functions for resonances. The background fractions are determined depend- ing on ∆E ≡ E − E , M ≡ E2 −|p~ |2, and event-shape variables for B beam bc q beam B suppressing the e+e− → qq¯(q = u,d,s,c) background, where E (p~ ) and E are B B beam defined in the e+e− center-of-mass frame as the energy (the momentum) of the recon- structed B candidates and the beam energy, respectively. Using obtained amplitude f(m2,m2) and background fractions, the fit on m2 is performed with the parameters + − ± x = r cos(±φ +δ ) and y = r sin(±φ +δ ), where we take r separately for ± ± 3 B ± ± 3 B B B± as r . The results are shown in Figure 2 for B− → DK− and B− → D∗K−. ± The separations with respect to the charges of B± indicate an evidence of the CP violation.

The decay D → K+π− is a particularly useful mode; the usual observables are the partial rate R and the CP-asymmetry A defined as DK DK B(B− → [K+π−] K−)+B(B+ → [K−π+] K+) D D R ≡ DK B(B− → [K−π+] K−)+B(B+ → [K+π−] K+) D D = r2 +r2 +2r r cos(δ +δ )cosφ , (3) B D B D B D 3 B(B− → [K+π−] K−)−B(B+ → [K−π+] K+) D D A ≡ DK B(B− → [K+π−] K−)+B(B+ → [K−π+] K+) D D = 2r r sin(δ +δ )sinφ /R , (4) B D B D 3 DK where [f] indicates that the state f originates from a D meson, r = |A(D0 → D D K+π−)/A(D0 → K−π+)|, and δ = δ(D0 → K−π+) − δ(D0 → K+π−). For the D parameters r and δ , external experimental inputs can be used [9]. D D In this report, we show a preliminary result based on a data sample that contains 7.7×108 BB¯ pairs (the full data sample collected by Belle at Υ(4S) resonance). The decay B− → Dπ− is also analyzed similarly as a reference mode. For the largest background from the continuum process e+e− → qq¯, we apply the new method of the discrimination based on NeuroBayes neural network [10]. The inputs are a Fisher discriminant of modified Super-Fox-Wolfram moments, cosine of the decay angle of D → K+π−, vertexseparationbetween thereconstructedB andtheremainingtracks, and seven other variables. The signal is extracted by a two-dimensional fit on ∆E and NeuroBayes output (NB), where we simultaneously fit for DK−, DK+, Dπ−, and Dπ+, as shown in Figure 3. As a result, we obtain R = [1.62±0.42(stat) +0.16(syst)]×10−2, (5) DK −0.19 A = −0.39±0.26(stat) +0.06(syst), (6) DK −0.04 R = [3.28±0.37(stat) +0.22(syst)]×10−3, (7) Dπ −0.23 A = −0.04±0.11(stat) +0.01(syst), (8) Dπ −0.02 where the first evidence of the suppressed DK signal is obtained with a significance 3.8σ including systematic error. Our study will make a significant contribution to a model-independent extraction of φ by combining relevant observables, e.g., the 3 partial rates and the CP-asymmetries for D → CP eigenstates [11]. 4 Conclusion In conclusion, recent results on the decays B− → D(∗)K− followed by D → K π+π− S andD → K+π− arereported.
