Isospin amplitudes and CP violation in (B ---> K pi) decays

(eng) We present a simple isospin invariant parametrization for $(B \to K\pi)$ decay amplitudes which consistently includes CP violation and (quasi-elastic) hadronic final states interactions. We find that the observed $(B \to K\pi)$ decays do not lead to a significant bound on the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle. On the other hand, we claim that a sizeable CP violation asymmetry in $(B^{\pm} \to K\pi^{\pm})$ rates is by no means excluded. Comment: 6 pages, no figure
