This method is particularly appropriate for hadron colliders since some of the branching ratios are small [O(10^{-6})], and since B_s decays are involved. By comparing the value of alpha extracted from this method with that obtained in B -> pi pi or B -> rho pi decays, one can detect the presence of new physics in the b -> d penguin amplitude. The method does require theoretical input, but model calculations suggest that the theoretical uncertainty is at most 5%, and might well be even smaller. These estimates can be tested experimentally. The method is therefore quite clean.6 pages, LaTeX, no figures.
