Abstract
Some years ago, a method was proposed for measuring the CP-violating phase γ using pairs of two-body decays that are related by U-spin reflection (d ↔ s). In this paper we adapt this method to charmless B → PPP decays. Time-dependent Dalitz-plot analyses of these three-body decays are required for the measurement of the mixing-induced CP asymmetries. However, isobar analyses of the decay amplitudes are not necessary. A potential advantage of using three-body decays is that the effects of U-spin breaking may be reduced by averaging over the Dalitz plot. This can be tested independently using the measurements of direct CP asymmetries and branching ratios in three-body charged B decays.
