Abstract

A linear CKM relation, ηˉ=tanΦ3/2(ρˉ0.24±0.03)\bar\eta= \tan\Phi_{3/2}(\bar\rho-0.24\pm 0.03), involving a 1σ1\sigma range for Φ3/2\Phi_{3/2}, 20<Φ3/2<11520^\circ < \Phi_{3/2} < 115^\circ, is obtained from B0KπB^0\to K^*\pi amplitudes measured recently in Dalitz plot analyses of B0K+ππ0B^0\to K^+\pi^-\pi^0 and B0(t)KSπ+πB^0(t)\to K_S\pi^+\pi^-. This relation is consistent within the large error on Φ3/2\Phi_{3/2} with other CKM constraints which are unaffected by new bsqˉqb\to s\bar q q operators. Sensitivity of the method to a new physics contribution in the ΔS=ΔI=1\Delta S=\Delta I=1 amplitude is discussed.
