Abstract

We propose two independent methods to determine the CKM phase γ\gamma and the tree and penguin amplitudes using neutral BB decays, assuming that the phase β\beta is known. Based on flavor SU(3) symmetry and SU(3) breaking effect, one method uses the decay processes B0(t)π0KSB^0(t) \rightarrow \pi^0 K_S, B0ηK0  (KSππ)B^0 \rightarrow \eta K^0 \; (K_S \rightarrow \pi \pi) and their charge-conjugate processes, and the other uses the processes B0(t)π0KSB^0(t) \rightarrow \pi^0 K_S, B0π0π0B^0 \rightarrow \pi^0 \pi^0 and their charge-conjugate processes. From SU(3) breaking consideration, the latter method would be more useful.
