CKM Matrix and Standard-Model CP Violation
نویسنده
چکیده
The currently favored model of CP violation is based on phases in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix describing the weak charge-changing couplings of quarks. The present status of parameters of this matrix is described. Tests of the theory, with particular emphasis on the study of B meson decays, are then noted. Some remarks are made regarding the possible origin of the baryon asymmetry of the universe; the corresponding coupling pattern of the leptons could shed light on the question. Some possibilities for non-standard physics are discussed.

A Real CKM Matrix and Physics Beyond the Standard Model
We study the possible existence of a real Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, with CP violation originating from physics beyond the standard model (SM). We show that present experimental data allow for a real CKM matrix provided that new physics also contributes to ∆mBd by at least 20% of the SM contribution (for ρ > 0), besides generating CP violation in the kaon sector. The naturalness of...
متن کاملDetermining the quark mixing matrix from CP-violating asymmetries.
If the Standard Model explanation of CP violation is correct, then measurements of CP-violating asymmetries in B meson decays can in principle determine the entire quark mixing matrix. According to the Standard Model (SM), CP violation arises from the fact that in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing matrix, some of the elements are not real. This picture of CP violation will be inc...

These lectures give an introduction and the current status of flavour physics in the quark sector, with special attention to the CKM matrix and CP violation. We describe the measurements which contribute to the determination of the CKM matrix elements and how, together with important theoretical developments, they have significantly improved our knowledge on the flavour sector of the Standard M...

We review the present status of the CKM matrix and we offer some visions of its future. After a brief presentation of the theoretical framework for weak decays we discuss the following topics: i) CKM matrix from tree level decays, ii) Standard analysis of the unitarity triangle, iii) CKM matrix from rare and CP violating Kand B-decays, iv) CKM matrix from CP violation in twobody B-decays. In pa...
متن کاملCorrelating the Higgs and Kaon Sector CP Violations
Taking the most general two-doublet models with explicit CP violation in the Higgs sector but no phase in the CKM matrix, we determine the correlation between the Higgs and Kaon sectors using the experimental values of ∆MK and ǫK . It is found that: there is a direct correlation between strength of FCNC couplings and the Higgs masses, and the lightest Higgs is nearly pure CP–even, but this smal...
متن کاملCkm Unitarity Angles Α ( Φ 2 ) and Γ ( Φ
In the Standard Model, the origin of CP-violation lies in the charged weak interaction sector, which involves transitions amongst quarks of different flavor and charge through the emission of a virtual W . The coupling strengths of these transitions for the 3 generations of quarks form a 3×3 matrix first introduced by M. Kobayashi and T. Maskawa and known as the (CKM) matrix. The CKM matrix is ...
