Using the value of beta to help determine gamma from B decays

Abstract

It has been pointed out by Gronau and Rosner that the angle gamma of the unitarity triangle could be determined by combining future results on B_s and B_d decays to K pi. Here we show that it is important to include in the analysis the information on the phase beta which will be determined in the near future. Omitting this information could lead to an error as large as 8 degrees in gamma.
