A variety of CP violating B-decays

A variety of CP violating asymmetries in B ⁰ decays is predicted in the Standard Model in terms of CKM (Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa) complex phases. These phases can also be determined from rate measurements of certain B ⁺ and B ^- decays. We focus on the following processes: B ⁰ → ψK _s, π⁺π^-, π⁰π⁰, ϱ^±π^∓ B _s → D _s⁺K ^-, π⁰η, B ⁺ → D ⁰( overlineD⁰)K ⁺, π⁺π⁰, π⁰K ⁺, π⁺K ⁰, ηK ⁺ and their charge-conjugates. Complications due to gluonic-penguin and electroweak-penguin penguin amplitudes are dealt with and are resolved. The importance of final-state interaction phases in charged B decay asymmetries is demonstrated in B ⁺ → χ_c0π⁺, χ_c0 → π⁺π^- through the effect of the χ_c0 width.
