The only hope for BaBar and Belle is not to observe B0 00Conclusion

Various strategies to interpret time-dependent asymmetry measurements C, Sstudied:

Significant constraints on  from QCD Factorisation but still need validation from data

Qualitative information when constraining the penguin amplitude using Br(B-K0-)

Mild assumption frameworks based on SU(2) and SU(3) do not lead to significant constraints

If central value of BR(00) stays large, isospin analysis probably cannot be performed by first generation B factories
