Searching for dominant rescattering sources in B to two pseudoscalar decays

Abstract

Various rescattering sources are analyzed in the context of the SU(3) flavor symmetry. In particular, the possibility to account for intermediate charm at the hadronic level in B to PP is thoroughly investigated. Then, the rescattering sources are compared in light of recent B to two charmless pseudoscalar decay measurements, with emphasis on the size of strong phases and on patterns of direct CP-asymmetries.
