Abstract

Three ways of dealing with rescattering effects in B±→K0π± are compared, in order to determine the weak phase γ from these processes and B±→K±π0. We find that neglecting these contributions altogether may involve sizeable errors in γ, depending on the rescattering amplitude and on the value of a certain measurable strong phase. We show that an attempt to eliminate these effects by using the charge-averaged rate of B±→K±K0 suffers from a large theoretical error due to SU(3) breaking, which may be resolved when using also lhe processes B±→π±η8.
