Measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa angle gamma in B-+ -> D(*)K-+ decays with a Dalitz analysis of D -> K0s pi- pi+

Abstract

We report on a measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa CP-violating phase gamma through a Dalitz analysis of neutral D decays to K0s pi- pi+ in the processes B-+ -> D(*)K-+, D* -> D pi0, D gamma. Using a sample of 227 million BBbar pairs collected by the BaBar detector, we measure the amplitude ratios rB = 0.12+/-0.08+/-0.03+/-0.04 and rB* = 0.17+/-0.10+/-0.03+/-0.03, the relative strong phases deltaB = 104+/-45+17-21+16-24, and deltaB*= -64+/-41+14-12+/-15 between the amplitudes A(B- -> Dbar(*)0 K-) and A(B- -> D(*)0 K-), and gamma = 70+/-31+12-10+14-11. The first error is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third reflects the Dalitz model uncertainty. The results for the strong and weak phases have a two-fold ambiguity.
