Abstract

Due to re-parametrization invariance of decay amplitudes, any single new physics (NP) amplitude arising through either the electro-weak penguin (EWP) or the color-suppressed tree amplitude can be embedded simultaneously into both the color-suppressed tree and the EWP contribution in B → Kπ decays. We present a systematic method to extract each standard model (SM)-like hadronic parameter as well as new physics parameters in analytic way, so that one can pinpoint them once experimental data are given. Using the currently available experimental data for B → Kπ modes, we find two possible analytic results: one showing the large SM-like color-suppressed tree contribution and the other showing the large SM-like EWP contribution. The magnitude of the NP amplitude and its weak phase are quite large. For instance, we find |P NP/P′| = 0.39 ± 0.13, φNP = 92° ± 15° and δNP 7° ± 26°, which are the ratio of the NP-to-SM contribution, the weak and the strong phase of the NP amplitude, respectively. We also investigate the dependence of the NP contribution on the weak phase γ and the mixing induced CP asymmetry of B0 → KSπ0, respectively
