Abstract: (arXiv)
We propose to perform a combined analysis of BππB \to \pi\pi and BsK+KB_s \to K^+ K^- modes, in the framework of a global CKM fit. The method optimizes the constraining power of these decays and allows to derive constraints on NP contributions to penguin amplitudes or on the BsB_s mixing phase. We illustrate these capabilities with a simplified analysis using the recent measurements by the LHCb Collaboration, neglecting correlations with other SM observables.
