The recently reported measurements of the CP asymmetry a(psi K) by the BABAR and BELLE collaborations are in good agreement with the standard model (SM) prediction, resulting from the unitarity of the CKM matrix. The so-called minimal…

BaBar has found $A_{\rm CP}(\tau^- \to \nu K_S\pi^- [\geq \pi^0]) = (-0.36 \pm 0.23 \pm 0.11)%$ with 2.8 $\sigma$ difference with SM prediction $A_{\rm CP}(\tau^- \to \nu K_S\pi^-) = (0.36 \pm 0.01)%$ based on $K^0 - \bar K^0$ oscillation.…
In this proceeding I present the latest result by the LHCb collaboration in determining the CKM angle $\gamma$ ($(73^{+9}_{-10})^{\circ}$). The result is determined by combining several $B \to Dh$ analyses, and the latest results from the…
Measurements of CKM elements and $CP$-violating observables are sensitive to revealing effects beyond the SM. These proceedings discuss four recent LHCb results. The first one presents $CP$ violation measurements in $B^0_s$ decays.…

We report several recent updates from the BABAR Collaboration on the matrix elements $|V_{cb}|$, $|V_{ub}|$, and $|V_{td}|$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark-mixing matrix, and the angles $\beta$ and $\alpha$ of the unitarity…

We review the salient features of a comparative study of the profile of the CKM unitarity triangle, and the resulting CP-violating phases $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$ in B decays, in the standard model and in several variants of the…
Using the most recent determinations of several theoretical and experimental parameters, we update the Unitarity Triangle analysis in the Standard Model. The basic experimental constraints come from the measurements of epsilon_k, Vub/Vcb…
