The role of penguin amplitudes in CP violating $B$ decays is reviewed, emphasizing recent progress in the analysis of electroweak penguin contributions. It is shown how these terms are included in a model-independent manner when measuring…

The effect of inelastic final-state interactions (IFSI's) on the determination of the weak phase $\alpha$ from the isospin triangles of $B\rightarrow \pi\pi$ is qualitatively illustrated. Neglecting the electroweak penguins and IFSI's and…

In the absence of the QCD penguin contributions a measurement of the time-dependent asymmetry in the decay $B^0(t)\to \pi^+\pi^-$ gives directly the weak angle $\alpha$. Several bounds have been proposed in the literature on the magnitude…

We discuss the role of electroweak penguins in $B$ decays to two light pseudoscalar mesons. We confirm that the extraction of the weak phase $\alpha$ through the isospin analysis involving $B\to\pi\pi$ decays is largely unaffected by such…

The unitarity of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix has been well established by both direct and indirect measurements without any evidence of discrepancy. The CKM weak phase $\alpha$ is directly measured using an isospin analysis…

Isospin and flavor SU(3) set stringent bounds on penguin pollution in $B^0(t)\to \rho^+\rho^-$, providing a theoretically precise determination of $\alpha\equiv \phi_2 $, $\alpha = (91\pm 7_{\rm exp}\pm 3_{\rm th})^\circ$. Isospin breaking…

We present an isospin analysis of the decay modes B\to D\bar{D}, D^*\bar{D}, D\bar{D}^* and D^*\bar{D}^*, which allows determination of the final-state interaction phases. As these transitions have branching ratios of the order 10^{-4} or…

We look at two methods to determine the weak phases $\phi_2$ and $\phi_3$ from $B \to \pi\pi$ and $K\pi$ decays within the perturbative QCD approach. We obtain quite interesting bounds on $\phi_2$ and $\phi_3$ from experimental measurements…

I propose an alternative method for measuring the $CP$ violating phase $\phi_2$ ($\alpha$) without ambiguity in an extended SU(2) isospin triangle analysis, which can ultimately be achieved by exploiting interference effects between $B^0…

We look at two methods to determine the weak phases $\phi_2$ and $\phi_3$ from $B \to \pi\pi$ and $K\pi$ decays within the perturbative QCD approach. We obtain quite interesting bounds on $\phi_2$ and $\phi_3$ from recent experimental…

We reanalyze the decay $B_d\to\pi^+\pi^-$ without assuming dominance of QCD penguins with internal top-quark exchanges. In that case the weak phase of the $\bar b \to\bar d$ QCD penguin amplitude is not related in a simple way to the CKM…

In the presence of penguin contributions, the indirect CP asymmetry in B0(t)->pi+ pi- measures some effective (``polluted'') angle 2alpha_{eff}. The angle 2theta=2alpha_{eff}-2alpha, parameterizes the size of the penguin pollution. A new,…

Quasi two-body decays B^0(t)-> a_1^{+-}(1260) pi^{-+} identified by four charged pions determine a phase alpha_eff, which is equal to the weak phase alpha in the limit of vanishing penguin amplitudes. Applying flavor SU(3) to these decays…

We formulate the most-general time-dependent decay distributions of $B_s\to J/\psi (\to l^+l^-) \phi(\to K^+K^-)$ in which the direct CP violation is explicitly incorporated. We then investigate the $B \to J/\psi V$ decays in 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 +…

The mixing-induced CP asymmetries in $B_d \to J/\psi K_S$ and $B_s \to J/\psi \phi$ are essential to detect or constrain new physics in the $B_d\! - \overline{\!B}{}_d$ and $B_s\! - \overline{\!B}{}_s$ mixing amplitudes, respectively. To…

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.…

We present a method for measuring the weak phase gamma using isospin analysis of three body B decays into K pi pi channels. Differential decay widths and time dependent asymmetry in B_d -> K_s pi^+pi^- mode needs to be measured into even…

We present a method to measure the CKM phase $\alpha$ and the tree and penguin (strong and electroweak) amplitudes in $B \rightarrow \pi \pi$ decays, based on isospin consideration and the weak assumption that all tree amplitudes have a…

We present the most complete analysis of the penguin correction to the extraction of the standard-model parameter sin(2\phi_1) from the B^0 -> J/psi K_S decay up to leading power in 1/m_b and to next-to-leading order in \alpha_s, \phi_1…
