Status of the Ckm Matrix
نویسنده
چکیده
Information about the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) matrix describing the chargechanging weak transitions between quarks with charges −1/3 (d, s, b) and 2/3 (u, c, t) has been steadily improving over the years. Despite a wealth of overconstraining experiments, no significant inconsistencies in its parameters have emerged so far. One seeks greater accuracy in the determination of CKM elements not only to expose such inconsistencies, which could signal new physics, but also to provide input for an eventual theory of these elements. The matrix may be defined in one parametrization 1 as

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 کاملCurrent Status of the CKM Matrix and the CP Violation
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...
متن کاملCKM Phenomenology and B-Meson Physics - Present Status and Current Issues
We review the status of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements and the CPviolating phases in the CKM-unitarity triangle. The emphasis in these lecture notes is on B-meson physics, though we also review the current status and issues in the light quark sector of this matrix. Selected applications of theoretical methods in QCD used in the interpretation of data are given and some of t...
متن کاملCkm Status and Prospects
This presentation reviews the Standard Model formalism governing the weak decays of quarks, as embodied in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) weak mixing matrix, and summarizes the experimental status and outlook. Two recent CLEO |Vcb| analyses are described. Complications from strong interactions in relating the experimentally accessible quantities to CKM elements are highlighted, and prospec...
متن کاملQuark Mixing and CP Violation
We review the historical developments leading to the CabibboKobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing matrix. Present status of the CKM matrix from direct measurements is summarized, giving also the present profile of the unitarity triangle. CP Violation in the K0 K0 complex and in B-meson decays are discussed in the context of
متن کاملA Review of the Magnitudes of the CKM Matrix Elements
Flavour mixing is described within the Standard Model by the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa matrix elements. With the increasingly higher statistics collected by many experiments, the matrix elements are measured with improved precision, allowing for more stringent tests of the Standard Model. In this paper, a review of the current status of the absolute values of the CKM matrix elements is presente...
