B → ππ decays*
نویسنده
چکیده
The branching ratios and CP asymmetries of B → ππ decays measured in B factory experiments indicate a large ratio of color-suppressed (C) to color-allowed (T ) tree contributions and a large relative phase between the tree and penguin amplitude. In this talk, I would like to report on a recent analysis to see whether the large C/T ratio can be explained within the QCD based model with i) a large contribution from the annihilation terms or with ii) large final-state-interaction phase between two different isospin amplitudes. We show that the current experimental data do not exclude either possibility but we may be able to distinguish these two effects in future measurements of direct CP asymmetry in B → π0π0 decay. * Talk given at First Workshop On Theory, Phenomenology And Experiments In Heavy Flavor, Anacapri, Italy, May 29-31, 2006

Direct CP Violation and Isospin Triangles of B → ππ Decays
The recent observation of B d → ππ and B̄ d → ππ decay modes allows us to make a fresh isospin analysis of B → ππ transitions. We find that current experimental data can impose some model-independent constraints on the parameter space of direct CP violation in Bd → ππ and Bd → ππ. Furthermore, we establish a direct relationship between the weak phase α and the charge-averaged branching fractions...
متن کاملSearching for New Physics via CP Violation in B → ππ
It is well known that one can use B → ππ decays to probe the CP-violating phase α. In this paper we show that these same decays can be used to search for new physics. This is done by comparing two weak phases which are equal in the standard model: the phase of the t-quark contribution to the b → d penguin amplitude, and the phase of B d–B 0 d mixing. In order to make such a comparison, we requi...
متن کاملCharming penguin contributions to charmless B decays into two pseudoscalar mesons
We present estimates of the charming penguin contribution to B → Kπ, ππ,Kη,Kη decays due to intermediate charmed meson states. We find that this contribution is indeed significant for B → Kπ decays, and its inclusion, together with the tree and penguin terms, produces large branching ratios in agreement with data, though the analysis is affected by large theoretical uncertainties. On the other ...
متن کاملFinal-state Rescattering Effect on Bd → ππ Decays and CP Violation
The significance of final-state interactions inBd → ππ decays is quantitatively demonstrated by taking elastic ππ ⇀↽ ππ and inelastic ππ ⇀↽ DD̄ rescattering effects into consideration. We find that the present experimental data on B d → ππ can well be understood in this approach without fine-tuning of the input parameters, and large CP-violating asymmetries are expected to manifest themselves in...

The large ratio of color-suppressed tree amplitude to color-allowed one in B → ππ decays is difficult to understand within the Standard Model, which is known as the “B → ππ puzzle”. The two tree diagrams contain the upand charm-quark component of penguin amplitude, Puc, which cannot be separated by measuring B → ππ decays alone. We show that the measurements of the branching ratio and direct CP...
