Confidence levels in the (rhobar,etabar) plane
obtained from the global fit.
The constraint from the WA sin(2beta)/(phi1)
(from charmonium modes - see average from
HFAG)
is either not included in the fit and overlaid (left hand plots) or
included in the fit (right hand plot).
Confidence levels for the Wolfenstein parameters and
UT surface and angles obtained from the Standard CKM Fit (shaded
areas). The dotted curves give the results without using sin(2beta)
(world average of the charmonium measurements)
and sin(2alpha)[eff] (from B to rhorho) in the fit, while the dashed
line excludes only sin(2alpha)[eff].
Confidence levels for the various sin(2beta)[eff]
measurements that are believed to be dominated by
a single, approximately
vanishing CKM phase. Also shown are their averages and
the Standard CKM Fit without including sin(2beta).
Confidence levels in the (rhobar-etabar) plane for the
ambiguity-free cos(2beta) measurement from the time- and angular-dependent analysis of B0->J/psi K* decays (BABAR).
Also shown is the Standard CKM fit (excluded
zones have less than 5% CL) and the
four ambiguities on beta from the world average of
sin(2beta) measurement using charmonium decays.
Note that the Gaussian interpretation of the experimental
result applied here (in lack of an experimental confidence
level) is likely to overstate
the exclusion of the two disfavored solutions for beta.
