Factorization fits and the unitarity triangle in charmless two-body B decays
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present fits to charmless hadronic B decay data from the BaBar, Belle and Cleo experiments using two theoretical models: (i) the QCD factorization model of Beneke et al. and (ii) QCD factorization complemented with the so-called charming penguins of Ciuchini et al. When we include the data from pseudoscalar-vector decays the results favor the incorporation of the charming penguin terms. We also present fit results for the unitarity triangle parameters and the CP-violating asymmetries.

A mixing-independent construction of the unitarity triangle
The study of charmless hadronic two-body decays of B mesons is one of the most fascinating topics in B physics. A construction of the unitarity triangle based on such decays is presented, which is independent of B–B̄ and K–K̄ mixing. It provides stringent tests of the Standard Model with small theoretical uncertainties. A mixing-independent construction of the unitarity triangle
متن کاملFlavor symmetry analysis of charmless B → V P decays
Based upon flavor SU(3) symmetry, we perform global fits to charmless B decays into one pseudoscalar meson and one vector meson in the final states. We consider different symmetry breaking schemes and find that the one implied by näıve factorization is slightly favored over the exact symmetry case. The (ρ̄, η̄) vertex of the unitarity triangle (UT) constrained by our fits is consistent with other...
متن کاملFlavor SU(3) analysis of charmless B meson decays to two pseudoscalar mesons
Global fits to charmless B → PP decays in the framework of flavor SU(3) symmetry are updated and improved without reference to the sin 2β measured from the charmonium decay modes. Fit results directly constrain the (ρ̄, η̄) vertex of the unitarity triangle, and are used to predict the branching ratios and CP asymmetries of all decay modes, including those of the Bs system. Different schemes of SU...
متن کاملSelected Topics in CP Violation and Weak Decays from BABAR
CP violation has been established in the Bmeson system [1] [2] and B-factories are now focusing their attention on over-constraining the angles and sides of the Unitarity Triangle, which is a partial representation of the CabibboKobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix [3]. The study of charmless B decays allows us to make such measurements and also to probe physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). In thi...
متن کاملDetermination of the CKM angle γ and | V ub / V cb | from inclusive direct CP asymmetries and branching ratios in charmless B decays 1
We have calculated inclusive direct CP-asymmetries for charmless B–decays. After summing large logarithms to all orders the CP-asymmetries in ∆S = 0 and ∆S = 1 decays are found as aCP (∆S = 0) = ( 2.0 +1.2 −1.0 ) %, aCP (∆S = 1) = (−1.0± 0.5)%. These results are much larger than previous estimates based on a work without summation of large logarithms. We further show that the dominant contribut...
