Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be a non-isosceles triangle. Two isosceles triangles ABCAB'C with base ACAC and CABCA'B with base BCBC are constructed outside of triangle ABCABC. Both triangles have the same base angle φ\varphi. Let C1C_1 be a point of intersection of the perpendicular from CC to ABA'B' and the perpendicular bisector of the segment ABAB. Determine the value of AC1B.\angle AC_1B.
