Is it possible to Measure the Weak Phase of a Penguin Diagram?

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-11-23 v1

Abstract

The bdb\to d penguin amplitude receives contributions from internal uu, cc and tt-quarks. We show that it is impossible to measure the weak phase of any of these penguin contributions without theoretical input. However, a single assumption involving the hadronic parameters makes it possible to obtain the weak phase and test for the presence of new physics in the bdb\to d flavour-changing neutral current.
