A method for determining CP violating phase
A new way of determining the phases of weak amplitudes in charged decays
based on SU(3) symmetry is proposed. The CP violating phase can now be
determined without the previous difficulty associated with electroweak
penguins.Comment: 9 pages plus one figure, Revte
Electroweak Model Independent Tests for SU(3) Symmetry in Hadronic B Decays
We study effects of new physics beyond the Standard Model on SU(3) symmetry
in charmless hadronic two body B decays. It is found that several equalities
for some of the decay amplitudes, such as , , , predicted by SU(3) symmetry in the SM are not affected by new
physics. These relations provide important electroweak model independent tests
for SU(3) symmetry in B decays.Comment: 4 pages, revte
Weak Phase gamma Using Isospin Analysis and Time Dependent Asymmetry in B_d -> K_s pi^+ pi^-
We present a method for measuring the weak phase gamma using isospin analysis
of three body B decays into K pi pi channels. Differential decay widths and
time dependent asymmetry in B_d -> K_s pi^+pi^- mode needs to be measured into
even isospin pi pi states. The method can be used to extract gamma, as well as,
the size of the electroweak penguin contributions. The technique is free from
assumptions like SU(3) or neglect of any contributions to the decay amplitudes.
By studying different regions of the Dalitz plot, it is possible to reduce the
ambiguity in the value of gamma.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figur
Constraints on the phase and new physics from Decays
Recent results from CLEO on indicate that the phase may
be substantially different from that obtained from other fit to the KM matrix
elements in the Standard Model. We show that extracted using is sensitive to new physics occurring at loop level. It provides
a powerful method to probe new physics in electroweak penguin interactions.
Using effects due to anomalous gauge couplings as an example, we show that
within the allowed ranges for these couplings information about
obtained from can be very different from the Standard
Model prediction.Comment: Revised version with analysis done using new data from CLEO. RevTex,

Prospects for Direct CP Violaton in Exclusive and Inclusive Charmless B decays
Within the Standard Model, CP rate asymmetries for could
reach 10%. With strong final state phases, they could go up to 20--30%, even
for mode which would have opposite sign. We can account for
, and rate data with new physics enhanced
color dipole coupling and destructive interference. Asymmetries could reach
40--60% for and modes and are all of the same sign. We are
unable to account for rate. Our inclusive study supports our
exclusive results.Comment: Minor changes, correct a small bug in Fig. 1(b). Version to appear in

The CP violating phase from global fit of rare charmless hadronic B decays
We study constraints on the CP violating phase in the
Kobayashi-Maskawa model using available experimental data. We first follow the
conventional method to up date the constraint on by performing a
analysis using data from , and
. We also include the recent information on in
the analysis. We obtain the best fit for to be and the 95%
C.L. allowed range to be . We then develop a method to
carry out a analysis based on SU(3) symmetry using data from and . We also discuss SU(3) breaking effects from model
estimate. We find that present data on can also give some
constraint on although weaker than the earlier method limited by the
present experimental errors. Future improved data will provide more stringent
constraint. Finally we perform a combined fit using data from ,
, , and rare charmless
hadronic B decays. The combined analysis gives for the best
fit value and as the 95% C.L. allowed range. Several
comments on other methods to determine based on SU(3) symmetry are
also provided.Comment: Revised verion with the new experimental data from Belle and Babar

Effects of R-parity violation on direct CP violation in B decays and extraction of
In the standard model, direct CP-violating asymmetries for are roughly 2% based on perturbative calculation. Rescattering effects might
enhance it to at most (20-25)%. We show that lepton-number-violating couplings
in supersymmetric models without R-parity are capable of inducing as large as
100% CP asymmetry in this channel. Such effects drastically modify the allowed
range of the CKM parameter arising from the combinations of the
observed charged and neutral B decays in the modes. With a multichannel
analysis in B decays, one can either discover this exciting new physics, or
significantly improve the existing constraints on it.Comment: Latex, 5 pages; minor changes, to appear in Phys Rev Let
