The present B -> pi K data is studied in the context of the standard model (SM) and with new physics (NP). We confirm that the SM has difficulties explaining the B -> pi K measurements. By adopting an effective-lagrangian parametrization of NP effects, we are able to rule out several classes of NP. Our model-independent analysis shows that the B -> pi K data can be accommodated by NP in the electroweak penguin sector.

    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.
