Precise measurements of CKM matrix parameters to probe the Standard Model of particle physics are a main focus of current flavour-physics experiments. Analyses of B → DD decays allow to assess higher-order Standard Model corrections in these measurements. Two decay-time-dependent measurements of CP violation in different B0 → DD decay modes are presented using data collected by the LHCb experiment. The analysis of B0 → D∗±D∓ decays utilises data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1 collected at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The results of the CP parameters correspond to the most precise measurement in this channel. They are consistent with the previous world average. The analysis of B0 → D+D− decays uses data corresponding to 6 fb−1 collected at 13 TeV. The analysis is ongoing and currently still blind. The evaluated sensitivities show that this will be the most precise measurement of CP violation in this channel.

Solid lines are predictions of the kp theory with no free parameters. Splitting of the conduction (e1,2) and valence (h1) band is due to the quantum confinement. [J.
