a constraint from Da = a - aeff Da a a 1- C.L. |Da| < 41o at 90% C.L. a a 1- C.L. Frequentist interpretation: use only the B→pp branching fractions and isospin-triangle relations. No stringent constraint from pp system alone  need rr and rp

The analysis Worse than pp at first sight: However: V V final state. Mixture of CP = +1 and -1: need to know each fraction However: ~100% longitudinally polarized (~pure CP-even state) no need for elaborate angular analysis Branching fraction for B0 g r+r- is larger than p+p- Branching fraction for B0 g r0r0 is small (~1.1x10-6) small penguin pollution

Pending Issues Cpp = - 0.16 ± 0.11 ± 0.03 Discrepancy on Cpp Solutions at 0o and 180o should be (more) suppressed. Using rp: nice suppression from BaBar, not from Belle. Background modeling. Interference with other resonances or non-resonant component in rp, rr modes. Subtleties on statistical analysis with small statistics. Cpp = - 0.16 ± 0.11 ± 0.03 Cpp = - 0.55 ± 0.08 ± 0.05

Uncertainties on a extraction Possible contribution of EW penguin and isospin breaking effect. EW penguin effect seems to be small (~2°). Other isospin breaking effect ~ O(1°). [M.Gronau and J.Zupan PRD 71, 074017(2005)] I=1 contribution due to finite width of r mass (rr mode). [A.Falk et al. PRD 69, 011502(R)] Too small to be an issue at B-factories

Summary and Outlook The three modes are complementary. Need to study them all. Good agreement between the CKM fit (a determined by others) and direct measurements. Still a lot to do. Refine previous analysis and exploit new ideas: a from B->a1p ? Constraint on a from B0->r+r- and B+->K*0r+ [M. Beneke et al., Phys. Lett. B638, 68(2006)] Doubling of statistics at the B-factories is much needed. Looking forward to LHC and to a Super B-Factory.
