Penguins in CP violating B decays
Abstract
Description
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 weak phase $α$ in $B\toππ$ using isospin symmetry, and when determining the phase $γ$ from $B\to Kπ$ applying flavor SU(3). Uncertainties due to rescattering effects in $B\to Kπ$ are discussed.
