Obtaining the Full Unitarity Triangle from B -> pi K Decays

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v2 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

We present a method of obtaining the entire unitarity triangle from measurements of B -> pi K decay rates alone. Electroweak penguin amplitudes are included, and are related to tree operators. Discrete ambiguities are removed by comparing solutions with independent experimental data. The theoretical uncertainty in this method is rather small, in the range 5--10%.
