Determining the Weak Phase $\gamma$ in the Presence of Rescattering
Abstract
We suggest a new technique to determine the CKM phase {\em without} neglecting the (soft) final state rescattering effects. We use (time integrated) meson decay rates to 's and 's. A set of 5 (or 1 and 4 ) decay rates is used to compute the strong phases and magnitudes of the tree level and penguin contributions as functions of . These are used to {\em predict} a decay rate as a function of (using SU(3) symmetry). The measurement of this decay rate then gives . We illustrate this technique using different cases. Most of the decay modes we use are expected to be accessible at the B-factories (e^+ e^- or hadron machines).

LaTeX file, 15 pages including 2 figures. Replacing an earlier version. In version 4, we have corrected some typographic errors. We have also clarified which decay modes require external tagging and have changed/added some comments
