Measurement of the CKM angle $\gamma$ at LHCb

The uncertainty on $\gamma$, the currently least-well known of the three angles, will be reduced dramatically. Complementary measurements will be made in tree-level processes, and modes...

Sumario:The precise measurement of the CKM unitarity triangle angle $\gamma$ is a key goal of the LHCb physics programme. The uncertainty on $\gamma$, the currently least-well known of the three angles, will be reduced dramatically. Complementary measurements will be made in tree-level processes, and modes where loop diagrams play an important role. The tree-level measurements will cover time-integrated as well as time- dependent measurements in both the $B^0_d$ and the $B^0_s$ sectors. The ensemble of these measurements will provide a powerful test of whether new physics phases contribute to heavy-flavour transitions.
