Charmless B decays in modes with similar tree and penguin contributions

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2014-08-22 v1

Abstract

Charmless BB decays are dominated by contributions from the short distance amplitudes from tree level and penguin loop-level amplitudes. The Tree contribution presents a weak phase γ\gamma. The relationship between these two amplitudes can generated a CP asymmetry depending from the relative amount among them in a particular decay. In multi-body charmless BB decays, these relative contribution can change along the phase space, given a non isotropic distribution of CP asymmetries in the Dalitz plot. Two recent LHCb analyses involving charmless multi-body B decays are discussed: the obsevation of CP asymmetries in the phase space of the three-body decays B±π±π+πB^\pm \to \pi^\pm \pi^+ \pi^- and B±π±K+KB^\pm \to \pi^\pm K^+ K^-; and the angular analysis of the B0ϕK(892)0B^0 \to \phi K^*(892)^0 decay.
