Measurement of CP Observables in B- -> D0 K- pi+ pi- Decays

<p>The analysis of the 3 fb^-1 data set collected by the LHCb experiment in 2011 and 2012 located at the LHC, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland is presented.</p> <p>The data set is comprised of one third taken at center of mass energy sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and the remaining two thirds taken at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV.</p> <p>The data is analyzed for the decays B- → D0 K- π+ π- and B- → D0 π- π+ π-$, </p> <p>with the D0 &rarr K+π-, K+K-, π-π+ or K-π+. </p> <p>The CP violation sensitive observables R_(CP+), A_(CP+), and R_(d,s)^± are measured, which </p> <p>are sensitive to the CKM Angle gamma.</p> <p>Upper limits are reported for the values of R_s^± since the doubly Cabibbo suppressed decay B- → D0 K- π+ π- with D0 → K+π- is not observed.</p>
