Abstract

The extraction of Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element information from hadronic B decays generally suffers from discrete ambiguities, hampering the diagnosis of physics beyond the standard model. We show that a measurement of the rate asymmetry, which is CP violating, in B±ρ±ρ0ωρ±π+π, where the invariant mass of the π+π pair is in the vicinity of the ω resonance, can remove the modπ uncertainty in αarg[VtdVtb*/(VudVub*)] present in standard analyses.
