Isospin amplitudes and CP violation in $(B \to K\pi)$ decays

Abstract

We present a simple isospin invariant parametrization for (BKπ)(B \to K\pi) decay amplitudes which consistently includes CP violation and (quasi-elastic) hadronic final states interactions. We find that the observed (BKπ)(B \to K\pi) decays do not lead to a significant bound on the angle γ\gamma of the unitarity triangle. On the other hand, we claim that a sizeable CP violation asymmetry in (B±Kπ±)(B^{\pm} \to K\pi^{\pm}) rates is by no means excluded.
