CKM matrix elements from tree-level decays and b-hadron lifetimes

چکیده
Uncovering the origin of flavor mixing and CP violation is one of the main goals in elementary particle physics today. As part of this program, the constraining of the CKM unitarity triangle through the redundant measurement of its angles and sides plays a central rôle. The aim of the present summary is to review the state of the art regarding the measurement of the sides |Vub| and |Vcb|, as it was discussed in Durham at the 2nd Workshop on the CKM Unitarity Triangle, taking into account developments which have occurred since then.

CKM Matrix : Present and Future a
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 کاملImplications of the Top Quark Mass Measurement for the CKM Parameters, xs and CP Asymmetries
Motivated by the recent determination of the top quark mass by the CDF collaboration, mt = 174± 10 −12 GeV, we review and update constraints on the parameters of the quark flavour mixing matrix VCKM in the standard model. In performing these fits, we use inputs from the measurements of |ǫ|, the CP-violating parameter in K decays, xd = (∆M)/Γ, the mixing parameter in B d-B 0 d mixing, the presen...
