CP Violation and Strong Phases from Penguins in ${\mathbf{B}}^{\pm }\to \mathbf{PP}$ and ${\mathbf{B}}^{\pm }\to \mathbf{VP}$ Decays

G. Kramer, W. F. Palmer, H. Simma

We calculate direct CP-violating rate asymmetries in charged $B\to PP$ and $B\to VP$ decays arising from the interference of amplitudes with different strong and CKM phases. The pe…
