Are B to PI K CP-asymmetries quantized ?

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-09-13 v2 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

Search for patterns in the numerous B-decay modes now available is necessary in order to test the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa theory of CP-violation. In particular, the well-structured pattern of B to PI K branching ratios may lead to a quantized spectrum for direct CP-asymmetries, providing in this way a rather unique opportunity to discriminate between strong final state interaction models.
