How To Use SU(3)-Flavor Symmetry to Extract CP Violating Phases and Strong Phase Shifts at CLEO
Abstract
After a short introduction to the SM picture of CP violation, we discuss recent work on how to use SU(3) flavor symmetry, along with some dynamical approximations, to extract the CKM weak phases and the strong rescattering phases from experimental measurements alone. This suprising wealth of information depends on our two strongest assumptions: SU(3) invariance, and the relative unimportance of exhange and annihilation diagrams. We discuss soon to be measured decay rate measurements that will test the validity of these assumptions.
