1.5.5 � Decays <strong>in</strong>to à Ã<br />
Although the decay rate for � � Ã Ã is expected to be small (� � ) <strong>in</strong> the Standard Model, f<strong>in</strong>al<br />
state rescatter<strong>in</strong>g effects can lead to enhancement of the branch<strong>in</strong>g fraction and the possibility of large strong<br />
phases, with correspond<strong>in</strong>gly large �È -violat<strong>in</strong>g charge asymmetries [35, 36]. Such rescatter<strong>in</strong>g effects may<br />
also have consequences for constra<strong>in</strong>ts on derived from � � Ã� decays [37]. Observation of the à Ã<br />
decay mode would provide important <strong>in</strong>formation about the strength of f<strong>in</strong>al state rescatter<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> charmless<br />
� decays.<br />
Recent studies [38] have also suggested that it is possible to derive a bound on � « «�« � depend<strong>in</strong>g on the<br />
à à branch<strong>in</strong>g fraction. This channel is a pure � � � pengu<strong>in</strong> process and <strong>in</strong> the SU(3) limit, this pengu<strong>in</strong><br />
diagram can be related to the � � pengu<strong>in</strong>. Consider<strong>in</strong>g the expression 1.73 for the � � amplitude and<br />
def<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g �È � � �È Ã Ã � from the [38]:<br />

where � is related to the time-dependent asymmetry and it is def<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> Eqs. 7.2. This bound holds under<br />
<strong>in</strong> the assumptions of SU(3) flavour symmetry of the strong <strong>in</strong>teractions and neglect<strong>in</strong>g the electroweak<br />
pengu<strong>in</strong> contributions.<br />
