New Strategy to Explore CP Violation with B⁰_sto K^-K^+

The $U$-spin symmetry provides a powerful tool to extract the angle $\gamma$ of the Unitarity Triangle and the $B_s^0$-$\bar{B}_s^0$ mixing phase $\phi_s$ from CP violation in the $B^0_s\to K^-K^+$, $B^0_d\to\pi^-\pi^+$ system. LHCb has obtained first results with uncertainties at the $7^\circ$ level. Due to $U$-spin-breaking corrections, it will be challenging to reduce the uncertainty below ${\cal O}(5^\circ)$ at Belle II and the LHCb upgrade. We propose a new strategy, using $\gamma$ as input and utilizing $B^0_s\to K^-\ell^+\nu_\ell$, $B^0_d\to \pi^-\ell^+\nu_\ell$ decays, which allows an extraction of $\phi_s$ with a future theoretical precision of up to ${\cal O}(0.5^\circ)$, thereby matching the experimental prospects. Since $B^0_s\to K^-K^+$ is dominated by penguin topologies, new sources of CP violation may be revealed.
