Abstract

A brief overview of the inputs from charm threshold that are essential to the determination of one of the Unitarity Triangle angles, \(\gamma \) is presented. The focus is on the measurements of four-body final states that have not previously been considered: \(D^0\rightarrow K_\mathrm{S}^0 \pi ^+ \pi ^- \pi ^0 \) and \(D^0 \rightarrow \pi ^+ \pi ^- \pi ^+ \pi ^-\).
