Goals and Issues on the Measurement Side

ÿThe reality (Considering the presences of large Penguin effects)

ÿNo single measurement is expected to lead to determination of a & g

ÿNeed info from many decay modes and the emerging pattern & connectionsvia symmetries, [isospin, SU(3) ], and eventually more predictive theories[perhaps QCD factorization or perturbative QCD- when verified ] to constrainvarious components of the problem.

ÿSearch for CP violation: Direct (C≠ 0) & Indirect (S≠0) deviating from(sin2b): [i.e. indirect CPV outside of mixing phase.]

ÿMeasure/Constrain a & g using many different modes and exploit theredundancy to resolve the ambiguities.

Keep finding the pieces of the charmless puzzle a & gThe job description Eventually

Other channels of reaching a:

B‡ (ppp): CPV studies require isolation of states with specificCP parity: e.g. B‡ (r+p- + r-p+) using Dalitz plot analysis.

Interference between (r+p- + r-p+) can be used to determine a even in thepresence of penguins [Quinn-Snyder]

ÿBaBar has presented CPV results based on quasi 2-bodydecays B0‡”r+ “p-, B0‡”r-”p+ -- updated for thisconference with their full data sample.

ÿ1st Belle results on CPV with these modes expected soon.

ÿComponents of the Isospin analysis (pentagon) are alsobeing measured. (J. Fry’s talk today)

B‡(pppp): e.g. B‡rr has been measured and shown to bedominated by the CP even component – good news for CPVstudies.

26#

CPV Studies with the decay B0‡rp

Not a CP eigenstate & involves more observables:

What about g: Current errors are still toolarge to allow for simultaneous extraction of g &ratio of (b‡c) and (b‡u) amplitudes (rdk) andthe strong phase. Need many fold more data.(dg~20 may be possible with 500 fb-1)

With assumptions on (rdk): mild limits can beextracted. e.g M. Gronau (hep-ph/0306308): g>72o at1 sigma level.

Summary & Conclusionsÿ Major progress made in probing the charmless sector of B decays for

information on unitarity angles a & g:ÿ New updated measurements of CPV in B‡ p+p- still show no

significant evidence for CP violation in this mode.ÿ Observation of B‡p0 p0 – a missing component of Tree/Penguin disentanglement plan.ÿ CPV studies in B‡rp shows hints of direct CP violation.ÿ The decay B‡rr is now measured and looks promising for CPV

studies and constraining a. Indications that penguins are smaller.ÿ Indication of direct CPV in B‡K-p+ (WA: Belle, BaBar, CLEO) No indication for large direct CP yet.ÿ The emerging constraints on the angles from the pattern of data are

consistent with the favored range from the CKM picture in theStandard Model.

ÿ Penguin free modes (B‡DK & D*p) are beginning to contribute toconstraints on CKM parameters & many new B‡DK modes identified.

ÿ Much more data & major progress in theoretical understanding ofhadronic B decays needed to complete the picture and conclusivelyperform the CKM unitarity test.
