Abstract

We present a feasibility study of a method to measure the cosine of twice the CKM Unitarity Triangle angle beta using a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of B0 -> D pi+ pi- decays, where the neutral D meson is reconstructed in decays to CP eigenstates. We show that this method can be used at the B factories to make a measurement of cos(2beta) that is competitive with, or more precise than, other techniques using different quark-level transitions, while sin(2beta) can be measured to an accuracy more precise than any existing measurement using b -> c ubar d transitions. Furthermore, this technique has great potential to be employed at LHCb.<br />Comment: 22 pages, 9 figures, 3 tables. v3: Minor changes to the text and some figures following suggestions from journal referees
