Abstract

The CKM matrix describing quark mixing with three generations can be parameterized by three mixing angles and one CP violating phase. In most of the parameterizations, the CP violating phase chosen is not a directly measurable quantity and is parametrization dependent. In this work, we propose to use experimentally measurable CP violating quantities, α\alpha, β\beta or γ\gamma in the unitarity triangle as the phase in the CKM matrix, and construct explicit α\alpha, β\beta and γ\gamma parameterizations. Approximate Wolfenstein-like expressions are also suggested.
