Abstract
First measurements of the CP observables in the B̄(s) 0 → Ds+ K- decay have been re-158 ported. With the larger data sample recorded in 2012, and the larger data set antici-pated in the future, this decay will contribute significantly to the determination of the weak phase γ. First observations of the B̄(s)0 → Ds+ K -π+π- and B̄0 → D+s K-π+π-are also reported. The former can be used in a similar way to B̄(s)0 → Ds+ K -- to extract γ. After including Ds+ → π+π-π+ and Ds+ → K-π+π- decays, and re-optimizing the selection for B̄(s)0 → Ds +K-π+π- only, the yield in this mode more than doubles with a comparable signal-to-background. The yield in this mode is therefore expected to have about 35-40% of that obtained in B̄ (s)0 → Ds+ K-. The B̄(s)0 → Ds1(2536) +π- decay is also observed for the first time, and its branching frac-tion relative to B̄(s)0 → D s+ π-π+π- is presented.
