I review currently discussed methods to determine the CKM mixing matrix element $|V_{ub}|$ from experimental data. Although the theory of inclusive decays and their spectra has entered a model-independent stage, its predictions are still…
Flavour mixing is described within the Standard Model by the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements. With the increasingly higher statistics collected by many experiments, the matrix elements are measured with improved precision,…
Phases of elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, as obtained using decays of $B$ mesons to $\pi^+ \pi^-$, $\pi^\pm K^\mp$, and $\pi^+ K^0$ or $\pi^- \overline{K}^0$, are shown to have a class of discrete ambiguities. In…

In Standard Model, CP violation arises from an irreducible complex phase in the quark mixing matrix, now under the name Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. This description has shown remarkably overall agreement with various experimental…
A method employing Bayesian statistics is used to incorporate recent experimental results on BdBdbar and BsBsbar mixing into a measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements. The neutral B meson mixing results yield a slight…
