Abstract

We investigate the time-evolutions of angular distributions for decays into final states that are admixtures of CP-even and CP-odd configurations. A sizable lifetime difference between the mass eigenstates allows a probe of CP violation in time-dependent untagged angular distributions. Interference effects between different final state configurations of , determine the Wolfenstein parameter from untagged data samples, or -- if one uses as an additional input -- the notoriously difficult to measure CKM angle . Another determination of is possible by using isospin symmetry of strong interactions to relate untagged data samples of and . We note that the untagged angular distribution for provides interesting information about electroweak penguins.
