Title: Hadronic decays of B mesons with flavor SU(3) symmetry

Journal Article · · Physics Letters B

We study implications of a recent observation of non-leptonic B$$+\atop{c}$$ →D0K+ decay and a bound on B$$+\atop{c}$$ →D0π+ transition, on CP-violating asymmetries in decays. In the U-spin symmetry limit, we derive a relation between the CP-asymmetries in the B$$+\atop{c}$$ →D0K+ and B$$+\atop{c}$$ →D0π+ channels and the corresponding branching ratios. We also derive several relations between non-leptonic Bc decays into the final states with D mesons in the flavor SU(3)F limit. We point out that a combined study of SU(3)F amplitudes in these decays can be used to constrain the angle γ of the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) matrix.
