The quark Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing matrix is a fundamental part of the Standard Model accurately determined to fit world data analysis. In this paper the CKM matrix elements are high accurately rendered via simple compact…
Based on a geometric postulation on the weak CP phase in Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, a positive rho is asserted. Besides, 0.18<eta<0.54 and 0.048<rho<0.140 are permitted by the present data. The corresponding geometric…
Based on the present data, the three CKM angles may construct a spherical surface triangle whose area automatically provides a "holonomy" phase. By assuming this geometrical phase to be that in the CKM matrix determined by an unknown hidden…
The sensitivity of determination of elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix to experimental inputs (particularly $|V_{cb}|$) is discussed and caution in assigning probable errors is urged.
A complete review of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements and of the experimental methods for their determination is presented. A critical analysis of the relevant experimental results, and in particular of the most recent…
We constrain the parameters of a representative new physics model with possible dark matter (DM) signature from a global CKM fit analysis. The model has neutral quark current interactions mediated by a scalar, impacting the semileptonic and…
We report the Standard Model evaluation of the indirect CP violation parameter $\varepsilon_K$ using inputs determined from lattice QCD: the kaon bag parameter $\hat{B}_K$, $\xi_0$, $|V_{us}|$ from the $K_{\ell 3}$ and $K_{\mu 2}$ decays,…
Observing the CKM matrix elements written in different parametrization schemes, one can notice obvious relations among the sine-values of the CP phases in those schemes. Using the relations, we establish a few parametrization-independent…
Unitarity along with precision measurements of sin2\beta, V_{us} and V_{cb} allows one to find a lower bound V_{ub}\geq 0.0035 which, on using the recently measured angle \alpha of the unitarity triangle, translates to V_{ub}= 0.0035\pm…
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…
We propose simple forms of neutrino mixing matrix in analogy with the Wolfenstein parametrization of quark mixing matrix, by adopting the smallest mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ as a measure of expansion parameters with the tribimaximal pattern…
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…
In presenting an up-to-date account of the experimental knowledge of the CKM matrix, special emphasis is placed on the exceptional degree of consistency shown by the current Standard Model determination of the unitarity triangle; some…
In this article, we present a very general but not ultimate solution of CPV problem in the standard model. Our study starts from a naturally Hermitian ${\bf M^2}\equiv M^q \cdot M^{q\dagger}$ rather than the previously assumed Hermitian…
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)…
We investigate how the Fritzsch ansatz for the quark mass matrices can be modified in the least possible way to accommodate the observed large top quark mass and the measured values of the CKM elements. As one of the solutions, we find that…

A review of the current status of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix (CKM) is presented. This paper is an update of the results published in [1]. The experimental constraints imposed by the measurements of \epsilon_K, V_{ub}/V_{cb},…
We evaluate the finite 1-loop threshold corrections, proportional to $tan\beta$, to the down quark mass matrix. These result in corrections to down quark masses and to Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa [CKM] matrix elements. The corrections to CKM…
Starting from a new zeroth order basis for quark mixing (CKM) matrix based on the quark-lepton complementarity and the tri-bimaximal pattern of lepton mixing, we derive a triminimal parametrization of CKM matrix with three small angles and…
