Description

The value of the weak phase $\gamma$ extracted using conventional methods suffer from large statistical uncertainties. $\gamma$ can also be extracted directly by studying Dalitz plots for charmless three-body $B$ decays and here the statistical uncertainty is much smaller due to the large number of independent measurements. I will describe a recent work in which we extract $\gamma$ using data publicly available from BABAR and how future B factory data may improve the extraction of $\gamma$.
