Abstract
An improved flavor SU(3) method is presented for determining the weak angle of the unitarity triangle using decay rates for and (or and ), their CP-conjugate modes and the CP-averaged rate for . Rescattering (color-suppressed) contribution in , for which an improved bound is obtained, is subtracted away. The only significant SU(3) breaking effects are accounted for in the factorization approximation of tree amplitudes. The weak angle is obtained as a byproduct.

9 pages with 2 included eps figures; revised argument, taking into account the special shape of the amplitude quadrangle. An improved bound on rescattering effects is given
