Description

The CDF experiment reports the first measurement of branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries of doubly-Cabibbo suppressed B^+ --> D0 K decays in hadron collisions, using the approach proposed by Atwood, Dunietz, and Soni (ADS) to determine the CKM angle gamma. Using 5.0 fb-1 of data the combined significance of both B^+ \to D0 pi/K signals exceeds 5sigma, and the ADS parameters are determined with accuracy comparable with B factories measurements.
