CP violation enters the Standard Model through the complex phase in the CKM matrix.Unitarity of the CKM matrix can be represented via ‘unitarity triangles’ where the sides represent the amplitudes of CKM elements and the angles represent relative phases.
Of the phases, ɣ is the least well known:� = (66± 12)� CKMfitter, direct measurements
Precise measurement of ɣ tests CKM unitarity: α+β+ɣ=180 ?∘

Candidate selectionEmploy full 2011 LHCb dataset (1fb-1) and apply a 20-variable boosted decision tree, trained on signal MC and 2010 data sidebands.
The most effective variables are flight distances (of the B± and D0), impact parameters, requirements on pt and on B± and D0 vertex qualities.

Figure 1: Invariant mass distributions of selected B± ! [K±!!]Dh± candidates. The left plots are B"
candidates, B+ are on the right. In the top plots, the bachelor track passes the DLLK! > 4 cut and the Bcandidates are reconstructed assigning this track the kaon mass. The remaining events are placed in thesample displayed on the bottom row and are reconstructed with a pion mass hypothesis. The dark (red)curve represents the B ! DK± events, the light (green) curve is B ! D!±. The shaded contributionare partially reconstructed events and the total PDF includes the combinatorial component.
