We show that an angular analysis of decays
yields numerous tests for new physics (NP) in the decay
amplitudes. Many of these NP observables are nonzero even if the
strong phase differences vanish. For certain observables, neither
time-dependent measurements nor tagging is necessary. Should a
signal for new physics be found, one can place a lower limit on
the size of the NP parameters, as well as on their effect on the
measurement of the phase of B0-
mixing.
