Abstract

The BaBar measurements of the Dalitz plots for B0 -> K+ pi0 pi-, B0 -> K0 pi+ pi-, B+ -> K+ pi+ pi-, B0 -> K+ K0 K-, and B0 -> K0 K0 Kbar0 decays are used to cleanly extract the weak phase gamma. We find four possible solutions: (31+2-3)^∘, (77 ± 3)^∘, (258+4-3)^∘, and (315+3-2)^∘. One solution -- (77 ± 3)^∘ -- is consistent with the SM. Its error, which includes leading-order flavor-SU(3) breaking, is far smaller than that obtained using two-body B decays.
