Abstract
Motivated by recent measurements, we investigate Bππ,Kπ decay modes in the framework of QCD improved factorization, which was recently proposed by Beneke et al. We find that all the measured branching ratios are well accommodated in the reasonable parameter space except for BK0π0. We also discuss in detail the strong penguin contributions and the O(αs) corrections to the chirally enhanced terms. We find that the weak phase γ lies in the region 120°<γ<240°, which is mainly constrained by Bππ+.
