  4. Isospin analysis in B →  , ρρ M. Gronau, D. London, Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 3381 (1990) In B → ρρ, there are 3 such relations (one for each polarization) 6 unknowns, 6 observables in  (there is no vertex to measure S00) 5 observables in  (or 7, when both C00 and S00 are measured) 4-fold ambiguity in 2Δ: either triangle can flip up or down Neglecting EW penguins, ±0 is a pure tree mode, and so the two triangles share a common side: Measurements of the CP angle  with the BaBar experiment

Summary and outlook • The BaBar experiment has observed evidence of • Time-dependent CP violation inB0 → +− • The decay processB0 → 00 • and improved the precision of other measurements related to the extraction of . The ability of existing B-meson factories to measure the angle  with a precision of a few degrees cruciallydepends on the developments in measuring the branching fractions and CP parameters in B0 → 00 and B0 → 00 The extraction of depends significantly on the statistical and theoretical treatment; The larger of the CKMfitter and UTfit68.3% C.L. intervals is  [86, 114]º(CKMfitter) Measurements of the CP angle  with the BaBar experiment
