Abstract
We measure CP asymmetries and branching-fraction ratios for B± → DK± and Dπ± decays with D → \( {K}_{\textrm{S}}^0 \)K±π∓, where D is a superposition of D0 and \( \overline{D} \)0. We use the full data set of the Belle experiment, containing 772 × 106 \( B\overline{B} \) pairs, and data from the Belle II experiment, containing 387 × 106 \( B\overline{B} \) pairs, both collected in electron-positron collisions at the Υ(4S) resonance. Our results provide model-independent information on the unitarity triangle angle ϕ3.
