SU(3) Predictions of $B\to PP$ Decays in the Standard Model

Abstract

With SU(3) symmetry one only needs 13 hadronic parameters to describe $B\to PP$ decays in the Standard Model. When annihilation contributions are neglected, only 7 hadronic parameters are needed. These parameters can be determined from existing experimental data and some unmeasured branching ratios and CP asymmetries of the type $B\to PP$ can be predicted. In this talk we present SU(3) predictions of branching ratios and CP asymmetries for $B\to PP$ decays in the Standard Model.
