Abstract

We study partial rate asymmetry in decays with single isospin final state. For K meson or hyperon decays, the partial rate asymmetries are always zero if the final states are single isospin states. In B decays the situation is dramatically different and partial rate asymmetries can be non-zero even if the final states are single isospin states. We calculated partial rate asymmetries for several B decays with single isospin amplitude in the final states using factorization approximation. We find that in some cases the asymmetries can be large.
