We perform a fit to the 2006 B -> pi K data and show that there is a disagreement with the standard model. That is, the B -> pi K puzzle is still present. In fact, it has gotten worse than in earlier years. Assuming that one new-physics (NP) operator dominates, we show that a good fit is obtained only when the electroweak penguin amplitude is modified. The NP amplitude must be sizeable, with a large weak phase.

  1. Isospin-based EWP-tree Relations

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Under isospin alone, electroweak-penguin diagrams in B→πK decays are proportional to tree diagrams with roles swapped relative to SU(3)_F, yielding an exact CP-asymmetry sum rule and a 4-5σ B→πK discrepancy with the S...

  2. Correlating $\epsilon^\prime/\epsilon$ to hadronic $B$ decays via $U(2)^3$ flavour symmetry

    hep-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A U(2)^3 flavour-symmetric effective field theory can consistently explain the epsilon'/epsilon anomaly and hadronic B decay CP asymmetries, with a global fit about 3 sigma better than the Standard Model.

  3. Precision measurement of CP violation and branching fractions in $B^{\pm} \to K^0_{\mathrm{S}} h^{\pm}$ $(h = \pi, K)$ decays and search for the rare decay $B_c^{\pm} \to K^0_{\mathrm{S}} K^{\pm}$

    hep-ex 2025-12 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Most precise CP asymmetry and branching ratio measurements for B± → K0S h± decays with no significant signal observed for the rare Bc decay.
