Measurement of the CKM angle gamma from a combination of B->Dh analyses

LHCb collaboration, R. Aaij, C. Abellan Beteta +633

A combination of three LHCb measurements of the CKM angle gamma is presented. The decays B->DK and B->Dpi are used, where D denotes an admixture of D0 and D0-bar mesons, decaying i…
