Measurement of CP observables in B ± → DK *± decays using two- and four-body D final states

Abstract

Measurements of CP observables in B ± → DK *± decays are presented, where D denotes a superposition of D 0 and {\overline{D}}^0 meson states. Decays of the D meson to K - π +, K - K +, π - π +, K - π + π - π + and π - π + π - π + are used and the K *± meson is reconstructed in the K S 0 π ± final state. This analysis uses a data sample of pp collisions collected with the LHCb experiment, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 1 fb-1, 2 fb-1 and 1.8 fb-1 at centre-of-mass energies √{s}=7 TeV, 8 TeV and 13 TeV, respectively. The sensitivity of the results to the CKM angle γ is discussed.
