CONCLUSIONS:
. the theoretical uncertainty due to the penguin diagrams (gluonic) are eliminated - angleα can be determined by tagged measurement of all ππ modes
. in the absence of the full information (in particular present measurement of a00dir does
not provide significant bound on α), one can set several bounds on θ angle(αeff = α − θ) by predicting amplitudes T , P, C by using models and some assumptions:

• time dependent Dalitz analysis of B0 → ρπ → π+π−π0 removes penguin contributions andextract α (no discrete ambiguities for 2α)• there are two different ways how to do time dependent Dalitz analysis:- Quasi-2-body approach - uses quasi-two body representations of B0 → (π±π0)π∓ decayscorresponding to distinct bounds in the 3-pion Dalitz plot in the vicinity of the ρ resonances- full time-dependent Dalitz analysis of B0 → π±π∓π0, accounting for the interference betweenintersecting ρ resonance bands and other resonances

where ∆m is the neutral B mass difference. The angle θ is measured as shown in Fig. 2.The effect of the EWP amplitudes on determining θ and correspondingly fixing α is
rather clearly represented by the small vectors at the right bottom corner of the Fig. 2.These terms, given by (cu−cd)(PEW +P C
EW) and its CP-conjugate, have unknown phases
relative to the T + C term which dominates A(B+ → π+π0) and its charge-conjugate.This leads to a very small uncertainty in the relative orientation of the two triangles. [Inthe limit of neglecting EWP amplitudes, one would have A(B− → π−π0) = A(B+ →
π+π0)]. The uncertainty in measuring θ, and consequently in determining α, is given by

We therefore conclude that the effects of EWP amplitudes on the measurement of α areat most of order λ2 and are negligible.
