Abstract: A measurement of the CP-violating parameters in B-s(0) -> D-s(-/+) K-+/- decays is reported, based on the analysis of proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb(-1) at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV. The measured parameters are obtained with a decay-time dependent analysis yielding C-f = 0.791 +/- 0.061 +/- 0.022, A(f)(Delta Gamma) = -0.051 +/- 0.134 +/- 0.058, A((f) over bar)(Delta Gamma) = -0.303 +/- 0.125 +/- 0.055, S-f = -0.571 +/- 0.084 +/- 0.023 and S-(f) over bar = -0.503 +/- 0.084 +/- 0.025, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This corresponds to CP violation in the interference between mixing and decay of about 8.6 sigma. Together with the value of the B-s(0) mixing phase -2 beta s, these parameters are used to obtain a measurement of the CKM angle gamma equal to (74 +/- 12)degrees modulo 180 degrees, where the uncertainty contains both statistical and systematic contributions. This result is combined with the previous LHCb measurement in this channel using 3 fb(-1) resulting in a determination of gamma = (81(-11)(+12))degrees.

Abstract: Measurements of CP observables and the CKM angle gamma are performed in B-+/- -> DK*(892)(+/-) decays, where D represents a superposition of D-0 and (D) over bar (0) states, using the LHCb dataset collected during Run 1 (2011-2012) and Run 2 (2015-2018). A study of this channel is presented with the D meson reconstructed in two-body final states K-+/- pi(+/-), K+ K- and pi(+)pi(-); four-body final states K-+/-pi(-/+) pi(+/-) pi(-/+) and pi(+) pi(-) pi(+)pi(-); and threebody final states K-S(0)pi(+) pi(-) and K-S(0) K+ K-. This analysis includes the first observation of the suppressed B +/-. [pi(+/-) K-+/-](D)K*(+/-) and B +/-. [pi(+/-) K--/+ pi(+/-)pi(-/+)](D)K*(+/-) decays. The combined result gives gamma = (63 +/- 13)degrees.

Abstract: Measurements of CP observables in B-0 -> DK0 decays are presented, where D represents a superposition of D-0 and D0 states. The D meson is reconstructed in the two-body final states K+pi(-), pi K-+(-), K+K- and pi(+)pi(-), and, for the first time, in the fourbody final states K+pi(-)pi(+)pi(-), pi K-+(-)pi(+)pi(-) and pi(+)pi(-)pi(+)pi(-). The analysis uses a sample of neutral B mesons produced in proton-proton collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0, 2.0 and 1.8 fb(-1) collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of ,8 and 13 TeV, respectively. First observations of the decays B-0 -> D(pi K-+(-))K-0 and B-0 -> D(pi(+)pi(-)pi(+)pi(-))K-0 are obtained. The measured observables are interpreted in terms of the CP -violating weak phase gamma.

Abstract: Measurements of CP observables in B-+/- -> DK +/- and B-+/- -> D pi (+/-) decays are presented, where D represents a superposition of D-0 and D<overbar>0 states. The D meson is reconstructed in the three-body final states KS0K +/- pi -/+ and KS0K -/+ pi +/-. The analysis uses samples of B mesons produced in proton-proton collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0, 2.0, and 6.0 fb(-1) collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of <mml:msqrt>s</mml:msqrt> = 7, 8, and 13 TeV, respectively. These measurements are the most precise to date, and provide important input for the determination of the CKM angle gamma.

Abstract: Measurements of CP observables in B-+/- -> DK*(+/-) decays are presented, where D denotes a superposition of D-0 and (D) over bar (0) meson states. Decays of the D meson to K-pi(+), K-K+, pi(-)pi(+), K-pi(+)pi(-)pi(+) and pi(-)pi(+)pi(-)pi(+) are used and the K*(+/-) meson is reconstructed in the K-S(0)pi(+/-) 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 root s = 7TeV, 8TeV and 13TeV, respectively. The sensitivity of the results to the CKM angle gamma is discussed.
