\section{INTRODUCTION}

The phases of Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements
describing charge-changing weak couplings of quarks are fundamental
quantities.  They are sometimes desribed in terms of angles $\alpha = \phi_2$,
$\beta = \phi_1$, and $\gamma = \phi_3$ in the unitarity triangle.
Now that BaBar and Belle are converging on a value of
$\sin(2 \beta)$, attention has turned to ways of
learning $\alpha$ and $\gamma = \pi - \beta - \alpha$. This summary
describes some recent work on the subject.

In Sec.\ \ref{sec:bpipi} we discuss $B^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ in the
light of recent measurements at BaBar \cite{Aubert:2002tv} and Belle
\cite{Abe:2002qq} of time-dependent asymmetries.  This work was performed
in part in collaboration with M. Gronau \cite{Gronau:2001cj,Gronau:2002cj,%
Gronau:2002gj} and in part with Z. Luo \cite{Luo:2001ek}.  We then mention
how to learn $\gamma$ from various $B \to K \pi$ decays (Sec.\ \ref{sec:Bkpi},
collaboration with M. Gronau \cite{Gronau:2001cj} and M. Neubert
\cite{Neubert:1998pt,Neubert:1998jq}), $2 \beta + \gamma$ from
$B \to D^{(*)} \pi$ (Sec.\ \ref{sec:BDpi}, collaboration with D. Suprun and
C.-W. Chiang \cite{Suprun:2001ms}), and $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ from
tree-penguin interference in $B \to PP,~PV$ decays, where $P$ is a light
pseudoscalar and $V$ a light vector meson (Sec.\ \ref{sec:int}, collaboration
with C.-W. Chiang \cite{Chiang:2001ir}).  Sec.\ \ref{sec:other} is a short
guide to other recent work, while we summarize in Sec.\ \ref{sec:sum}.

\section{$\alpha$ FROM $B^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ \label{sec:bpipi}}

We regard $\alpha,\gamma$ as uncertain to about $\pi/4$: $126^\circ
\ge \alpha \ge 83^\circ$, $32^\circ \le \gamma \le 75^\circ$
\cite{Gronau:2001cj}, in accord with $122^\circ \ge \alpha \ge 75^\circ$,
$37^\circ \le \gamma \le 80^\circ$ \cite{Hocker:2001jb}.  If $B^0 \to \pi^+
\pi^-$ were dominated by the ``tree'' amplitude $T$ with phase $\gamma
= {\rm Arg}(V_{ub}^* V_{ud})$, the parameter $\lpp \equiv e^{-2 i \beta}
A(\ob \to \pi^+ \pi^-)/A(\bo \to \pi^+ \pi^-)$ would be just $e^{2 i \alpha}$
and the indirect CP-violating asymmetry $\spp = 2 {\rm Im}\lpp/(1 + |\lpp|^2)$
would be $\sin 2 \alpha$.  Here
\beq
\frac{d \Gamma}{d t} \left\{ \begin{array}{c} \bo|_{t=0} \to f \\
\ob|_{t=0} \to f \end{array} \right\} \propto e^{- \Gamma t}[1 \mp \spp
\sin \Delta m t \pm \cpp \cos \Delta m t ]~~~,
\eeq
$\cpp = (1 - |\lpp|^2)/(1 + |\lpp|^2)$, and $\Delta \Gamma \simeq \Delta m/200$
has been neglected.  In the presence of non-zero
$\Delta \Gamma$ one can also measure $\app = 2 {\rm Re} \lpp/(1+|\lpp|^2)$.
Since $|\spp|^2 + |\cpp|^2 + |\app|^2 = 1$ one has $|\spp|^2 + |\cpp|^2 \le 1$.
However, one also has a penguin amplitude $P$ involving a $\bar b \to \bar d$
loop transition involving contributions $\sim$ $V_{ud}^* V_{ub}$,
$V_{cd}^* V_{cb}$, and $V_{td}^* V_{tb} = -V_{ud}^* V_{ub} - V_{cd}^* V_{cb}$.
The decay amplitudes are then
\beq
A(\bo \to \pi^+ \pi^-) = -(|T|e^{i \delta_T} e^{i \gamma} + |P|
e^{i \delta_P}),~
A(\ob \to \pi^+ \pi^-) = -(|T|e^{i \delta_T} e^{-i \gamma} + |P|
e^{i \delta_P}),
\eeq
where the strong phase difference $\delta \equiv \delta_P -\delta_T$.
It will be convenient to define $\rpp \equiv \bb(\bo \to \pi^+
\pi^-)/\bb(\bo \to \pi^+ \pi^-)_{\rm tree}$, where $\bb$ refers to a branching
ratio averaged over $\bo$ and $\ob$.  One may use $\spp$ and $\cpp$ to learn
$\alpha,\delta$, resolving a discrete ambiguity with the help of $\rpp$
\cite{Gronau:2002cj}.  Alternatively, one may directly use $\spp$, $\cpp$,
and $\rpp$ to learn $\alpha$, $\delta$, and $|P/T|$ \cite{Gronau:2002gj,%
Charles:1998qx}.

Explicit expressions for $\rpp$, $\spp$ and $\cpp$ may be found in
\cite{Gronau:2002cj,Gronau:2002gj}.  In \cite{Gronau:2002cj} we estimated
$|P/T| = 0.276 \pm 0.064$ (see also \cite{Beneke:2001ev}), obtaining $|P|$ from
$B^+ \to K^0 \pi^+$ via (broken) flavor SU(3) and $|T|$ from $B \to \pi \ell
\nu$.  Plotting $\cpp$ against $\spp$ for various values of $\alpha$ in the
likely range, one obtains curves parametrized by $\delta$ which establish a
one-to-one correspondence between a pair $(\spp,\cpp)$ and a pair
$(\alpha,\delta)$ as long as $|\delta| \le 90^\circ$.  However, if $|\delta|$
is allowed to exceed about
$90^\circ$ these curves can intersect with one another, giving rise to a
discrete ambiguity corresponding to as much as $30^\circ$ uncertainty in
$\alpha$ when $\cpp = 0$.  In this case, when $\delta = 0$ or $\pi$, one
has $|\lpp|=1$ and $\spp = \sin2(\alpha + \Delta \alpha)$, where
$\tan(\Delta \alpha) = \pm (|P/T| \sin \gamma)/(1 \pm (|P/T| \cos \gamma)$
is typically $\pm 15^\circ$.  One can resolve the ambiguity
either by comparing the predicted $\rpp$ with experiment (see
\cite{Gronau:2002cj} for details) , or by comparing the allowed $(\rho,\eta)$
region with that determined by other observables \cite{Hocker:2001jb}.  An
example is shown in \cite{Gronau:2001cj}.

Once errors on $\rpp$ are reduced to $\pm 0.1$ (they are now about three times
as large \cite{Gronau:2002cj}), a distinction between
$\delta = 0$ and $\delta = \pi$ will be possible when $\spp \simeq 0$,
as appears to be the case for BaBar \cite{Aubert:2002tv}.  For the Belle data
\cite{Abe:2002qq}, which suggest $\spp <0$, the distinction becomes easier;
it becomes harder for $\spp > 0$.  With 100 fb$^{-1}$ at each of BaBar and
Belle, it will be possible to reduce $\Delta |T|^2/|T|^2$ from its present
error of 44\% and $\bb(\bo \to \pi^+ \pi^-)$ from its present error of
21\% each to about 10\% \cite{Luo:2001ek}, which will go a long way toward
this goal.
In an analysis independent of $|P/T|$ performed since the workshop, the 
somewhat discrepant BaBar and Belle values of $\spp$ and $\cpp$, when averaged,
favor $\alpha$ between about $90^\circ$ and $120^\circ$ (see Fig.\ 1 of
\cite{Gronau:2002gj}).

\section{$\gamma$ from $B \to K \pi$ \label{sec:Bkpi}}

\subsection{$\gamma$ from $\bo \to K^+ \pi^-$ and $B^+ \to K^0 \pi^+$}

We mention some results of \cite{Gronau:2001cj} on information
provided by $B^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$ decays, which involve both a penguin $P'$ and
a tree $T'$ amplitude.  One can use the flavor-averaged branching ratio $\bb$
and the CP asymmetry in these decays, together with $P'$ information from the
$B^+ \to K^0 \pi^+$ decay rate (assuming it is equal to the charge-conjugate
rate, which must be checked) and $T'$ information from $B \to \pi \ell \nu$
and flavor SU(3), to obtain constraints on $\gamma$.  One considers the
ratio $R \equiv [\bb(\bo \to K^+ \pi^-)/\bb(B^+ \to K^0 \pi^+)][\tau_+/
\tau_0]$, where the $B^+/B^0$ lifetime ratio $\tau_+/\tau_0$ is about 1.07. 
Once the error on this quantity is reduced to $\pm 0.05$ from its value of $\pm
0.14$ as of February 2002, which should be possible with 200 fb$^{-1}$ at
each of BaBar and Belle, one should begin to see useful constaints arising
from the value of $R$, especially if errors on the ratio $r \equiv |T'/P'|$
can be reduced with the help of better information on $|T'|$.

\subsection{$\gamma$ from $B^+ \to K^+ \pi^0$ and $B^+ \to K^0 \pi^+$}

One can use the ratio $R_c \equiv 2 \bb(BB^+ \to K^+ \pi^0)/\bb(B^+ \to K^0
\pi^+)$ to determine $\gamma$ \cite{Gronau:2001cj,Neubert:1998pt,%
Neubert:1998jq}.  Given the values as of February 2002, $R_c = 1.25 \pm 0.22$,
%JR        | no "2"
$A_c \equiv [{\cal B}(B^- \to K^- \pi^0) - {\cal B}(B^+ \to K^+ \pi^0)]/
\bb(B^+ \to K^0 \pi^+) = -0.13 \pm 0.17$, and $r_c \equiv |T'+C'|/|p'| =
0.230 \pm 0.035$ (here $C'$ is a color-suppressed amplitude, while $p'$ is
a penguin amplitude including an electroweak contribution), and an estimate
\cite{Neubert:1998pt,Neubert:1998jq} of the electroweak penguin contribution,
one finds $\gamma \le 90^\circ$ or $\gamma \ge 140^\circ$ at the $1 \sigma$
level, updating an earlier bound \cite{Gronau:2001cj} $\gamma \ge 50^\circ$.
A useful determination would involve $\Delta R_c = \pm 0.1$, achievable with
150 fb$^{-1}$ each at BaBar and Belle.

\section{$2 \beta + \gamma$ FROM $B \to D^{(*)} \pi$ \label{sec:BDpi}}

The ``right-sign'' (RS) decay $B^0 \to D^{(*)-} \pi^+$, governed by the CKM
factor $V_{cb}^* V_{ud}$, and the ``wrong-sign'' (WS) decay $\ob \to
D^{(*)-} \pi^+$, governed by $V_{cd}^* V_{ub}$, can interfere through
$\bo$--$\ob$ mixing, leading to information on the weak phase $2 \beta +
\gamma$.  One must separate out the dependence on a strong phase $\delta$
between the RS and WS amplitudes, measuring time-dependent observables
\beq
A_\pm(t) = (1+R^2) \pm (1 - R^2) \cos \Delta m t,~~
B_\pm(t) = - 2 R \sin(2 \beta + \gamma \pm \delta) \sin \Delta m t,
\eeq
where $R \equiv |{\rm WS/RS}| = r |V_{cd}^* V_{ub}/V_{cb}^* V_{ud}| \simeq 0.02
r$, with $r$ a parameter of order 1 which needs to be known better.  In
Ref.\ \cite{Suprun:2001ms} we use the fact that $R$ can be measured in
the decay $B^+ \to D^{*+} \pi^0$ to conclude that with 250 million
$B \bar B$ pairs one can obtain an error of less than $\pm 0.05$
on $\sin(2 \beta + \gamma)$, which is expected to be greater than about
0.89 in the standard model.  Thus, such a measurement is not likely to
constrain CKM parameters, but has potential for an interesting
non-standard outcome.  
 
\section{$\alpha$ and $\gamma$ FROM $B \to PP,~PV$ \label{sec:int}}

Some other processes which have a near-term potential for providing
information on tree-penguin interference (and hence on $\alpha$ and $\gamma$)
are the following \cite{Chiang:2001ir}: (1) the CP asymmetries in $B^+ \to
\pi^+ \eta$ and $\pi^+ \eta'$; (2) rates in $B^+ \to \eta' K^+$ and
$\bo \to \eta' K^0$; (3) rates in $B^+ \to \eta K^{*+}$ and $\bo \to \eta
K^{*0}$; and (4) rates in $B^+ \to \omega K^+$ and $\bo \to \omega K^0$.
Other interesting branching ratios include those for $\bo \to \pi^-
K^{*+}$, $\bo \to K^+ \rho^-$, $B^+ \to \pi^+ \rho^0$, $B^+ \to \pi^+
\omega$, and $B^{(+,0)} \to \eta' K^{*(+,0)}$, with a story for each
\cite{Chiang:2001ir}.  In order to see tree-penguin interference at the
predicted level one needs to measure branching ratios at the level of
$\Delta \bb = (1-2) \times 10^{-6}$.

\section{OTHER WORK \label{sec:other}}

For other recent suggestions on measuring $\alpha$ and $\gamma$, see
the review of \cite{Fleischer:2001zn} and the contributions of
\cite{Gronau:2001ff} on the isospin triangle in $B \to \pi \pi$ ($\alpha$),
\cite{Gronau:1998vg,Atwood:2001ck} on $B^+ \to D K^+$ ($\gamma$),
\cite{Kayser:1999bu} on $\bo \to D K_S$ ($2 \beta + \gamma$),
\cite{Buras:2000gc}
on $\bo \to K \pi$ ($\gamma$), \cite{Fleischer:1999pa} on $\bo \to \pi^+
\pi^-$ and $B_s \to K^+ K_-$ ($\gamma$), and \cite{Gronau:2000md} on
$\bo \to K^+ \pi^-$ and $B_s \to K^- \pi^+$ ($\gamma$).  These contain
references to earlier work.

\section{SUMMARY \label{sec:sum}}

CKM phases will be learned in many ways.  While $\beta$ is well-known now and
will be better-known soon, present errors on $\alpha$ and
$\gamma$ are about $45^\circ$.  To reduce them to $10^\circ$ or less,
several methods will help.  (1) Time-dependent asymmetries in $B^0 \to \pi^+
\pi^-$ already contain useful information.  The next step will come when both
BaBar and Belle accumulate samples of at least 100 fb$^{-1}$.  (2) In
$B^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ an ambiguity between a strong phase $\delta$ near zero
and one near $\pi$ (if the direct asymmetry parameter $C_{\pi \pi}$ is
small) can be resolved experimentally, for example by better measurement of
the $B^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ branching ratio and the $B \to \pi \ell \nu$
spectrum.  (3) Several $B \to K \pi$ modes, when compared, can constrain
$\gamma$ through penguin-tree interference.  This has been recognized, for
example, in \cite{Hocker:2001jb}.  (4) The rates in several $B \to PP,~PV$
modes are sensitive to tree-penguin interference.  One needs to measure
branching ratios with errors less than $2 \times 10^{-6}$ to see such effects
reliably.
