Abstract

A model-dependent amplitude analysis of B±→DK± with D→K0Sπ+π- decays is performed using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1fb-1, recorded by LHCb at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV in 2011. Values of the CP violation observables x± and y±, which are sensitive to the CKM angle γ, are measured to be 

x-=+0.027±0.044+0.010-0.008±0.001, 

y-=+0.013±0.048+0.009-0.007±0.003, 

x+=-0.084±0.045±0.009±0.005, 

y+=-0.032±0.048+0.010-0.009±0.008, 

where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third arises from the uncertainty of the D→K0Sπ+π- amplitude model. The value of γ is determined to be (84+49-42)°, including all sources of uncertainty. Neutral D meson mixing is found to have negligible effect.
