Abstract

A measurement of CP-violating observables is performed using the decays B± ? DK± and B± ? Dp±, where the D meson is reconstructed in one of the self-conjugate three-body final states KS0p+p- and KS0K+K- (commonly denoted KS0h+h-). The decays are analysed in bins of the D-decay phase space, leading to a measurement that is independent of the modelling of the D-decay amplitude. The observables are inter- preted in terms of the CKM angle ?. Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb-1 collected in proton-proton collisions at centre-of mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV with the LHCb experiment, ? is measured to be (68.7-5.1+5.2)°. The hadronic parameters rBDK,rBDp,dBDK,anddBDp, which are the ratios and strong-phase differences of the suppressed and favoured B± decays, are also reported. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
