Factorisation fits and the unitarity triangle

Abstract

In this paper we present fits to charmless hadronic B decay data from the BaBar, Belle and Cleo experiments using models by Beneke et. al. and Ciuchini et al. When we include the data from pseudo-scalar vector decays (PV) the current experimental results favour the inclusions of a so-called "charming penguin" term. We also present fit results for the Unitary Triangle parameters and the CP violating asymmetries
