Description
Using data collected by the LHCb detector during the 2010 run of the LHC we reconstruct the main charmless charged two-body b-hadron decay modes, namely B0--> pi+pi–, B0 --> K+pi–, Bs0 --> K+K–, Bs0 --> pi+K–, Lamdab --> pK– and Lamdab --> ppi–, and obtain first preliminary measurements of direct CP asymmetries. We also present studies of decays of the type B --> DX, where D is a charmed meson (D0, D(*)+ or Ds+), representing the first steps on a programme towards a precision measurement of the angle gamma of the CKM Unitarity Triangle. The prospects for CP violation results with hadronic B decays in the 2011 data will be reviewed.
