Determination of the CKM angle γ and|Vub/Vcb|from inclusive directCPasymmetries and branching ratios in charmlessBdecays

Abstract
We calculate inclusive direct CP asymmetries for charmless B± decays. After summing large logarithms to all orders the CP asymmetries in ΔS=0 and ΔS=1 decays are found as aCP(ΔS=0)=(2.01.0+1.2)%, aCP(ΔS=1)=(1.0±0.5)%. These results are much larger than previous estimates based on a work without summation of large logarithms. We further show that the dominant contribution to aCP(ΔS=0) is proportional to sinγ|Vcb/Vub|. The constraints on the apex (ρ¯,η¯) of the unitarity triangle obtained from these two CP asymmetries define circles in the (ρ¯,η¯) plane. We have likewise analyzed the information on the unitarity triangle obtainable from a measurement of the average nonleptonic branching ratios Br¯(ΔS=0), Br¯(ΔS=1) and their sum Br¯NL(Bnocharm). These CP-conserving quantities define circles centered on the ρ¯ axis of the (ρ¯,η¯) plane. We expect a determination of |Vub/Vcb| from Br¯NL(Bnocharm) to be promising. Our results contain some new QCD corrections enhancing Br¯(ΔS=1), which now exceeds Br¯(ΔS=0) by roughly a factor of 2.
