摘要
A bound on the angle gamma of the unitarity triangle is derived using experimental information on the CP-averaged branching ratios for the rare decays B+/- --> pi (+/-) K-0 and B (+/-) --> pi(0)K (+/-). The theoretical description is cleaner than the Fleischer-Mannel analysis of the decays B (+/-) --> pi (+/-) K-0 and B-0 --> pi (-/+) K+/- in that the two decay rates differ only in a single isospin amplitude, which has a simple structure in the SU(3) Limit. As a consequence, electroweak penguin contributions and strong rescattering effects can be taken into account in a model-independent way. The resulting bound excludes values of cosy around approximate to 0.6 and is thus largely complementary to indirect constraints derived from a global analysis of the unitarity triangle.
