Determination of the Weak Phase gamma from Rate Measurements in B^+- -> pi K, pi pi Decays
read the original abstract
A method is described which, under the assumption of SU(3) symmetry, allows one to determine the angle gamma=Arg(Vub^*) of the unitarity triangle from time-independent measurements of the branching ratios for the decays B^+ -> pi^0 K^+ and B^- -> pi^0 K^-, as well as of the CP-averaged branching ratios for the decays B^+- -> pi^+- K^0 and B^+- -> pi^+- pi^0. The effects of electroweak penguin operators are included in a model-independent way, and SU(3)-breaking corrections are accounted for in the factorization approximation.

Isospin-based EWP-tree Relations
Derives SU(2)_I-based EWP-tree relations for B→PP decays that match SU(3)_F in ΔS=0 but differ in ΔS=1, producing a 4-5σ SM discrepancy in the B→πK puzzle.
