Flavour Symmetry and Clean Strategies to Extract γ
نویسنده
چکیده
One of the key elements in the testing of the Standard-Model description of CP violation through B-meson decays is the direct determination of the angle γ of the unitarity triangle in a variety of ways. We give a brief overview of the implications of the current B-factory data for flavour-symmetry strategies, and discuss new, theoretically clean methods employing pure tree decays of neutral Bd,s mesons.

Extracting γ Through Flavour-Symmetry Strategies
A brief overview of flavour-symmetry strategies to extract the angle γ of the unitarity triangle is given, focusing on B → πK modes and the Bd → π+π−, Bs → K+K− system. We discuss also a variant of the latter approach for the e+e− B-factories, where Bs → K+K− is replaced by Bd → πK. Contribution to the Proceedings of the Workshop on the CKM Unitarity Triangle, CERN, Geneva, 13–16 February 2002 ...
متن کاملNew Strategies to Extract β and γ from B d → π + π − and B s → K + K −
The decays Bd → π+π− and Bs → K+K− are related to each other by interchanging all down and strange quarks, i.e. through the U -spin flavour symmetry of strong interactions. A completely general parametrization of the CP-violating observables of these modes is presented within the framework of the Standard Model, allowing the determination of the angles β and γ of the unitarity triangle. This st...
متن کاملNew Strategies to Extract CKM Phases from Non-Leptonic B Decays
Several new strategies to extract CKM phases, including a determination of γ from Bs(d) → J/ψKS decays and a general approach, which makes use of the angular distributions of certain Bd,s modes, such as Bd → J/ψ ρ 0 and Bs → J/ψ φ, are discussed. Special emphasis is put on a simultaneous determination of β and γ with the help of the decays Bd → π π and Bs → K K, which relies only on the U -spin...
متن کاملLimitations in Measuring the Angle β by using SU ( 3 ) Relations for B - Meson Decay - Amplitudes ∗
Flavour SU(3) symmetry of strong interactions and certain dynamical assumptions have been used in a series of recent publications to extract weak CKM phases from B-decays into {ππ, πK,KK̄} final states. We point out that irrespectively of SU(3)-breaking effects the presence of QCD-penguin contributions with internal uand c-quarks precludes a clean determination of the angle β in the unitarity tr...
متن کاملWaiting for the Discovery of B 0 d → K 0 K̄ 0
The CP asymmetries of the decay B0 d → K 0K̄0, which originates from b̄ → d̄ss̄ flavour-changing neutral-current processes, and its CP-averaged branching ratio BR(Bd → K 0K̄0) offer interesting avenues to explore flavour physics. We show that we may characterize this channel, within the Standard Model, in a theoretically clean manner through a surface in observable space. In order to extract the rel...
