Abstract

Without adhering to any specific model, we have presented 4 X 4 quark mixing matrix as an extension of the 3 X 3 PDG parametrization of the CKM matrix. Using unitarity constraints as well as the hierarchy among the elements of the 3 X 3 CKM matrix, we have found the hierarchy among the 4th row and 4th column elements of the 4 X 4 quark mixing matrix. Further, for the fourth generation case, we have explicitly found the 9 independent rephasing invariant parameters J_4X4. Also, using phenomenological estimates of the 4th row and 4th column elements, we have numerically evaluated these 9 parameters.
