 +   <hidden TTP97-17  Constraining the CKM angle $\gamma$ and penguin contributions through combined $B \to \pi K$ branching ratios > Motivated by recent CLEO measurements of $B\to\pi K$ modes, we investigate 
 + their implications for the CKM angle $\gamma$ and a consistent description 
 + of these decays within the Standard Model. Interestingly it turns out that 
 + already the measurement of the combined branching ratios $B^\pm\to\pi^\pm K$ 
 + and $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$ allows to derive stringent constraints on $\gamma$ 
 + which are complementary to the presently allowed range for that angle. This 
 + range, arising from the usual fits of the unitarity triangle, is typically 
 + symmetric around $\gamma = 90^\circ$, while our method can in principle 
 + {\it exclude} a range of this kind. Consistency within the Standard Model 
 + implies furthermore bounds on the ratio $r\equiv|T'|/|\tilde P|$ of the 
 + current-current and penguin operator contributions to $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$, 
 + and upper limits for the CP-violating asymmetry arising in that decay. 
 + Commonly accepted means to estimate $r$ yield values at the edge of 
 + compatibility with the present CLEO measurements.
