We estimate the potential size of the weak annihilation amplitudes in QCD factorization as allowed by experimental data. To achieve this goal, we establish a connection between the amplitudes in the QCD factorization and the so-called topological and $SU(3)$-invariant descriptions. Our approach is based purely on the analysis of the tensor structure of the decay amplitudes. By focusing on the processes $B\rightarrow P P$ and considering data from CP asymmetries and branching fractions, we perform a global fit to the $SU(3)$-irreducible quantities assuming minimal theoretical bias. Subsequently we translate the outcome to the QCD factorization decomposition, and find that the most constrained weak annihilation amplitudes are below $4\%$. However, in view of the large uncertainties in several of the experimental input parameters, values up to $30\%$ are allowed in certain cases.

  1. Isospin-based EWP-tree Relations

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Derives SU(2)_I-based EWP-tree relations for B→PP decays that match SU(3)_F in ΔS=0 but differ in ΔS=1, producing a 4-5σ SM discrepancy in the B→πK puzzle.

  2. New insights into the $b\rightarrow c \bar{u}q$ puzzle through Top-Bottom synergies

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Anomalies in b to c u-bar q transitions remain puzzling as proposed new physics scenarios involving SU(2) doublets are not significantly relaxed by collider dilution or factorization breakdown.

  3. QCD-factorization amplitudes from flavour symmetries: beyond the $SU(3)$ symmetric case

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A data-driven SU(3)-breaking analysis of B to PP decays yields QCD-factorization amplitudes that resemble dynamical predictions and require no enhanced annihilation terms.

  4. CP asymmetries in charged meson decay to two pions

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    CP asymmetries for B+ to pi+ pi0, D+ to pi+ pi0, and K+ to pi+ pi0 are estimated in the Standard Model at roughly 3 times 10 to the -3, 10 to the -5, and 10 to the -6 using a unified formalism for isospin violation.
