We compute for the first time the long-distance penguin contribution to the double radiative $B$-meson decays due to the purely hadronic operators acting with the electromagnetic current in the background soft-gluon field from first…
We present a method of determining the CKM-angle $\alpha$ by performing simultaneous measurements of the mixing-induced CP asymmetries of the decays $B_d\to\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B_d\to K^0\bar K^0$. The accuracy of our approach is limited by…
At the first PPPP workshop, I gave a review talk on physics of B and CP-phases. In my talk, I explained DRG method and our extension to extract CP angles $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ from measurements of the decay rates of $B_{d,s}^0 \to \pi\pi,…
Major new experimental efforts on detecting CP violation in $B$ decays will very soon go on the air. Recent developments suggest that final state interaction phases in exclusive decays of $B$ are unlikely to be small indicating the…
Certain hadronic two-body decays of $B$ mesons are dominated by penguin diagrams. The ratios of rates for several such decays, including $\Gamma(B^0 \to \overline{K}^{*0} K^0)/\Gamma(B^0 \to \phi K^0)$, $\Gamma(B^0 \to \overline{K}^{*0}…
We propose the use of B -->D^**K decay modes for a theoretically clean determination of the weak phase gamma. The self tagging decays of the neutral D^** mesons, makes a measurement of the b --> u\bar{c}s amplitude feasible. This overcomes…
A general parametrization of the $B^+\to\pi^+ K^0$ and $B_d^0\to\pi^- K^+$ decay amplitudes is presented. It relies only on the isospin symmetry of strong interactions and the phase structure of the Standard Model and involves no…
Experimentally, the phases $\phi_d$ and $\phi_s$ are determined from CP asymmetry measurements in the "golden modes" $B_d^0\to J/\psi K_{\mathrm{S}}^0$ and $B_s^0\to J/\psi\phi$. At leading order, the theoretical interpretation of these…
Radiative penguin decays provide a hunting ground complementary to direct searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. In the era of B-factories copious production of B mesons permits precision measurements of radiative penguin decays.…
The $B\to\pi K$ decays with significant electroweak penguin contributions show a puzzling pattern. We explore this "$B\to\pi K$ puzzle" through a systematic strategy. The starting point, which is essentially unaffected by electroweak…
We report the first search for the penguin-dominated process $B^0 \rightarrow K_S^0 K_S^0 \gamma$ using the full data sample of $772\times 10^6$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$…
We study Lambda_{QCD}/m_B corrections to factorization in B -> K pi decays. First, we analyze these decay channels within factorization, showing that, irrespectively of the value of gamma, it is not possible to reproduce the experimental…
The recently observed color-suppressed B0bar to D0 pi0, D0 eta, D0 eta', Ds+ K-, D0 K0bar, D0 rho0 and D0 omega decay modes all have rates larger than expected. The color-suppressed Bs to D0 phi, D0bar phi modes, which were suggested for…
A new and simple procedure to measure the angle $\gamma$ from $B^{\pm} \to \pi^{\pm}\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B^{\pm} \to K^{\pm}\pi^+\pi^-$ decays using SU(3) symmetry is presented. It is based on a full Dalitz plot analysis of these decays. All…
We show that the CKM phase $2 \beta+\gamma$ can be extracted from measurement of the time dependent rates in the decays $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{(*)\pm} M^\mp$ and $B^0 \to D^{(*)\pm} M^\mp$, where $M=a_0$, $\pi(1300)$, $b_1$, $a_2$, $\pi_2$,…
A major problem in the determination of the the CP angle $\alpha$, that should be measured through modes of the type $B_d, \bar{B}_d \to \pi \pi , \cdots ,$ is the uncertainty coming from Penguin diagrams. We consider the different ground…
The short-distance contribution due to the $c\to u\gamma$ penguin as well as long-distance contributions are considered in an analysis of $D\to V\gamma$ decays, the latter being dominant. The matrix elements for nine $D\to V\gamma$…
The extraction of the CKM angle $\alpha$ from the asymmetry in $B^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-$ vs ${\bar B^0} \to \pi^+\pi^-$ suffers from a currently unknown penguin contribution. Experimentally, one can determine the magnitude and phase of the CP…
A method to extract Standard Model(SM) CP phases involving B decays is presented. The method involves a pair of decays where one decay receives a significant $b \to d$ penguin contribution while the second has a significant $b \to s$…
We use the perturbative QCD methods of Lepage and Brodsky to calculate the rate for B-bar_s -> rho K_s, with an eye toward the CP violating unitarity triangle angle gamma. We show that, although the penguins are large, there are regions of…
