Constraining gamma from K* pi and rho K Decays

Abstract

We show that information on the weak phase gamma can be extracted from the K* pi and rho K decays. Less hadronic uncertainty is involved when the observables of four of these modes are combined together. We further point out two approximate relations in these decay modes can help determine whether there are new physics contributions in Delta I = 1 transitions, as hinted in the K pi modes.
