We consider the consequences for measurements of $\\phi_3$ using these modes, some of which are profound and beneficial.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2004-10-25T05:37:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.15.Hh", "11.30.Er", "13.25.Hw", "14.40.Nd" ], "keywords": [ "measurements", "effective strong phase difference", "beneficial", "consequences" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
