Abstract

The UU-spin symmetry provides a powerful tool to extract the angle γ\gamma of the Unitarity Triangle and the Bs0B_s^0-Bˉs0\bar{B}_s^0 mixing phase ϕs\phi_s from CP violation in the Bs0KK+B^0_s\to K^-K^+, Bd0ππ+B^0_d\to\pi^-\pi^+ system. LHCb has obtained first results with uncertainties at the 77^\circ level. Due to UU-spin-breaking corrections, it will be challenging to reduce the uncertainty below O(5){\cal O}(5^\circ) at Belle II and the LHCb upgrade. We propose a new strategy, using γ\gamma as input and utilizing Bs0K+νB^0_s\to K^-\ell^+\nu_\ell, Bd0π+νB^0_d\to \pi^-\ell^+\nu_\ell decays, which allows an extraction of ϕs\phi_s with a future theoretical precision of up to O(0.5){\cal O}(0.5^\circ), thereby matching the experimental prospects. Since Bs0KK+B^0_s\to K^-K^+ is dominated by penguin topologies, new sources of CP violation may be revealed.
