Abandoning Exact SU(3) in Coupled-Channel Final-State Interactions through Reggeon Exchange for B\rightarrow \pi \pi , K\overline {K}

P. Lach

For weak decays Bd0\rightarrow \pi \pi and K\overline {K} the effects of SU(3) breaking in coupled-channel final-state interaction effects are discussed in a Regge framework. It is shown that SU(3) breaking in the inelastic final-state transitions dramatically affects the phases of the isospin I=0,1,2 amplitudes in the Bd0 decays. The effect of the singlet penguin diagram on these phases is studied. Furthermore, on the example of the Bd0\rightarrow \pi \pi decays, the dependence of CP asymmetries on the size of penguin amplitude is analyzed.
