Abstract: Current results from previous B-factory experiments such as BaBar and Belle for the b^0 \to K_s \pi0 mode indicate a 2 $\sigma deviation between the Standard Model and experimental data for CP violation parameters (ACP ) and SCP . As such, this is one of the leading places to look for New Physics particles for example the Z0 boson, leptoquarks, and diquarks. This is hoped to be resolved by the current Belle-II experiment which will have a signicantly higher integrated luminosity than either Belle or BaBar by the time data collection is completed. The aim of this work is to establish an analysis framework to study this decay mode using Monte-Carlo generated data. This analysis framework will then be tested by the use of Monte- Carlo toy fits and applied to the B^0 \to J/ \Psi K_s control mode. Various forms of continuum suppression are tested, and the expected results for various levels of integrated luminosity are examined. An in-depth study of the DeltaT error distribution function will be completed including a range of detector based results.
