Abstract

We calculate the direct CP violating asymmetry parameter, aCPa_{CP}, for Bπ+ππB \to \pi^{+} \pi^{-} \pi and Bπ+πKB \to \pi^{+} \pi^{-} K decays, in the case where ρ0ω\rho^0-\omega mixing effects are taken into account. We find that the direct CP asymmetry for Bπ+ππB^{-} \to \pi^{+} \pi^{-} \pi^{-}, Bˉ0π+ππ0\bar{B}^{0} \to \pi^{+} \pi^{-}\pi^{0}, Bπ+πKB^{-} \to \pi^{+} \pi^{-} K^{-} and Bˉ0π+πKˉ0\bar{B}^{0} \to \pi^{+} \pi^{-}\bar{K}^{0}, reaches its maximum when the invariant mass π+π\pi^{+} \pi^{-} is in the vicinity of the ω\omega meson mass. The inclusion of ρ0ω\rho^0-\omega mixing provides an opportunity to erase, without ambiguity, the phase uncertainty mod(π)(\pi) in the determination of the CKM angles α\alpha in case of bub\to u and γ\gamma in case of bsb \to s.
