Till the middle of 2004 it appeared that the unitarity relation Vud^2+Vus^2+Vub^2=1 might not hold at the 2.3sigma level. At that time, however, Vus was inferred from old experimental data. Since then, a large experimental and theoretical…

The analysis made in 2000 indicated that the unitarity relation Vud^2 + Vus^2 + Vub^2 = 1 might be broken at the 2.3 sigma level. At that time, however, Vus was inferred from old experimental data. Since then, a great experimental and…
We update the determination of |V_us| using semielectronic and semimuonic decays of K mesons. A modest improvement of 15% with respect to its present value is obtained for the error bar of this matrix element when we combine the four…
New results from the NA48 experiment on kaon and hyperon decays relevant to |V_us| are reported here. For charged kaons we present measurements of BR(K+- -> pi0 e+- nu) and BR(K+- -> pi0 mu+- nu). On neutral kaon decays we report the…
The two most precise determinations of the CKM matrix element V_us are based on the analyses of leptonic and semileptonic kaon decays. These studies also rely on the lattice QCD calculations of two hadronic parameters, namely the ratio of…
