Abstract

We use the approximate SU(3) flavor symmetry of the strong interaction to put bounds on the CP asymmetries in b → s decays of the B⁰_d and B⁺_u mesons. We extend the work of \citeGrossman:2003qp to include all relevant B → PP, B → VP and B → VV decays. We obtain the strongest constraints from current data, and provide a list of SU(3) relations which can be used when future data is obtained.
