New bound on penguin pollution in B^0(t) --> pi^+ pi^-

2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/41698In 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 + theta. Using the measured value of direct CP asymmetry in B^0(t) --> pi^+ pi^-, we derive new bound on |2 theta|.10 pages, LaTex, 1 figure, Minor changes in the textHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyNew bound on penguin pollution in B^0(t) --> pi^+ pi^-text
