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…

The decay $B^0 \to K^0 \pi^0$, dominated by a $b \to s$ penguin amplitude, holds the potential for exhibiting new physics in this amplitude. In the pure QCD penguin limit one expects $\ckp = 0$ and $\skp = \sin 2 \beta$ for the coefficients…

In charmless nonleptonic B decays to \pi\pi or \rho\rho, the "color allowed" and "color suppressed" tree amplitudes can be studied in a systematic expansion in \alphas(mb) and \Lambda/mb. At leading order in this expansion their relative…

The $b\to d$ penguin amplitude receives contributions from internal $u$, $c$ and $t$-quarks. We show that it is impossible to measure the weak phase of any of these penguin contributions without theoretical input. However, a single…

Because the Bd -> J/psi Ks asymmetry determines only sin(2 beta), a discrete ambiguity in the true value of beta remains. This note reviews how the ambiguity can be removed. Extractions of the CKM angle alpha are discussed next. Some of the…

The decays $B^\pm\to \pi^\pm K$ and $B_d\to \pi^\mp K^\pm$ were observed by the CLEO collaboration last year; they may play an important role to probe the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix. After a general…

We study the decay processes $B \to K \pi$ by using generalized decay amplitudes with both the final state re-scattering strong phases and the topological quark diagrammatic strong phases included together as part of fitting parameters.…

Determining the presence of a potential optical source in the interest region is important for an imaging system and can be achieved by using hypothesis testing. The previous studies assume that the potential source is completely…

The LHC has confirmed the existence of a mass gap between the known particles and possible new states. Effective field theory is then the appropriate tool to search for low-energy signals of physics beyond the Standard Model. We adopt the…

In the presence of penguin contributions, the indirect CP asymmetry in B^0(t) --> pi^+ pi^- measures sin 2alpha_{eff}, where alpha_{eff} deviates from the true value of the CKM phase alpha by an amount theta, i.e. alpha_{eff} = alpha +…

Motivated by the recent experimental data, we have revisited the $B\to \pi K,\pi \pi$ decays in the framework of QCD factorization, with inclusion of the important strong penguin corrections of order $\alpha_s^2$ induced by $b\to D g^\ast…

The electroweak phase transition is investigated by means of the perturbatively calculated high temperature effective potential. An analytic result to order $g^4,\lambda^2$ is presented for the Abelian Higgs model, the SU(2)-Higgs model and…

Penguin effects in the CP asymmetries of $B^0_d\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-$ , $\bd\rightarrow\rho^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ and $\bd\rightarrow a^{\pm}_1 \pi^{\mp}$ are studied as function of the CKM unitarity triangle $\alpha$. Despite a fairly small…

Isospin-breaking effects, in particular those associated with electroweak-penguin contributions and pi0-eta,eta' mixing, have long been known to affect the Standard Model prediction of Re(epsilon'/epsilon) in a significant manner. We have…

The $B\to\pi\pi,\pi K$ system offers a powerful laboratory to probe strong and weak interactions. Using the isospin symmetry, we determine hadronic $B\to\pi\pi$ parameters from data where new measurements of direct CP violation in…

We have performed a new exact evaluation of the fluctuation determinant $\kappa$ of the electroweak sphaleron with $\Theta _W =0$. The results differ significantly from a previous calculation of this quantity by Carson et. al. . We find…

This paper deals with the asymptotic behavior and FEM error analysis of a class of strongly damped wave equations using a semidiscrete finite element method in spatial directions combined with a finite difference scheme in the time…

We present a study of non-leptonic B-meson decays, partial widths and CP asymmetries, and discuss the possibilities of determining the penguin contributions through less model-dependent phenomenological analyses. In the last section we…

This article gives an overview of the recent searches and measurements of $b\to d$ penguin transitions with the BaBar experiment. The branching fraction of these decays in the Standard Model (SM) is expected to be a factor of 10 or more…

We discuss a possibility of large electroweak(EW) penguin contribution in B-->K pi and pi pi. The recent experimental data may be still suggesting that there are some discrepancies between the data and theoretical estimations. In B --> K pi…
