No final-state phase ambiguities in additionalBddecays with largeCPviolation

Abstract
The Bd decay modes D¯0(D¯*0)X0 generated by the quark process b¯c¯+ud¯ have a large CP asymmetry within the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) model. Here X0 denotes a light, neutral meson with zero strangeness, such as π0, ρ0, ω, etc. This asymmetry depends only on a ratio of CKM matrix elements and not on final-state phases. The CKM model predicts (up to a sign) the same asymmetries for the D¯0(D¯*0)X0, ψKS, and D+D modes. Adding those modes might lower the required luminosity for observing CP violation within the CKM model. On the other hand, future high-statistics measurements could reveal violations of the CKM model simply by demonstrating that the modes ψKS, D+D and D¯0(D¯*0)X0 differ in their individual CP asymmetries.
