Abstract

A full determination of the CKM matrix using recent results from lattice QCD is presented. To extract the CKM matrix in a uniform fashion, I exclusively use results from unquenched lattice QCD as the theory input for nonperturbative QCD effects. All 9 CKM matrix elements and all 4 Wolfenstein parameters are obtained from results for gold-plated quantities, which include semileptonic decay form factors and leptonic decay constants of B, D and K mesons, and B^0-\bar{B}^0 and K^0-\bar{K}^0 mixing amplitudes.
