The unitarity of the CKM matrix is examined in the light of the latest available accurate data. The analysis shows that for the elements in the first row, there are two types of experimental measurements leading to different results for the…
We propose a novel quark mass matrix texture-pair with five free parameters, which fits the four quark mass ratios $m_s/m_b$, $m_d/m_b$, $m_c/m_t$, $m_u/m_t$, and the four CKM quark mixing observables. The matrices each have one texture…
We present several alternative techniques used by the BaBar Collaboration in order to measure the Unitarity Triangle angle gamma. We also present the results of two searches designed to improve the measurements of sin(2beta) using penguin B…
We study the impact on the unitarity triangle of the Bs-bar{Bs} flavor oscillation data analyses being carried out at the Tevatron Run II. In the current version of this work we consider the first direct experimental bound on the mass…
We discuss the determination of the CKM parameters from the forthcoming $CP$ violation observables in $B_s \to K^+ K^-$ decays. Combining the information on mixing induced CP violation in $B_s \to K^+ K^-$, with the $B_d \to J/\psi K_s$…
We study the influence of penguin (especially, electroweak penguin) effects on some methods of measuring the angles $\alpha$, $\beta$, and $\gamma$ in the CKM unitarity triangle. We use next-to-leading order effective Hamiltonian, and…
The LEP investigation of the Bd and Bs oscillations and of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element Vub improve the constraints on the other elements of this matrix. From a fit to the experimental data and the theory calculations it is…
Within the Standard Model, a review of the current determination of the CKM unitarity triangle parameters is presented, using experimental constraints from the measurements of |epsilon_K|, V_ub/V_cb, Delta m_d and from the limit on Delta…
In the main part of the paper we project forward to having $B$ factory determinations of $\sin(2\beta)$ and $\sin(2\alpha)$, for which we take several values. First, we use a joint $\chi^2$ analysis of CKM experiments to constrain CKM…
We present results on time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in neutral B decays to several CP eigenstates. The measurements use a data sample of about 88 million Y(4S) --> B Bbar decays collected between 1999 and 2002 with the BABAR…
Ruling out the inverted neutrino hierarchy with neutrinoless double beta decay experiments is possible if a limit on the effective mass below the minimal theoretically possible value is reached. We stress that this lower limit depends…
In this work, the postulation that weak CP phase originates in a certain geometry, is further discussed. According to this postulation, the weak CP phase is determined by three mixing angles. So, if we can determine experimentally three…
Unitarity is a fundamental property of any theory required to ensure we work in a theoretically consistent framework. In comparison with the quark sector, experimental tests of unitarity for the 3x3 neutrino mixing matrix are considerably…
Relying upon the usefulness of the \mu-\tau symmetry, we find a new type of neutrino mass texture with a single phase parameter \delta that describes maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing and Dirac CP violation due to the presence of \delta.…
Recently, non-zero rotation angle $\beta=0.30^\circ\pm0.11^\circ$ $(68\%\text{ C.L.})$ [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{128}, no.9, 091302 (2022)] has been reported for linear polarization of cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, which is…
We discuss possible signatures of the tree level FCNC, which results from the non-unitarity of CKM matrix. We first define the unitaity step-by-step, and possible test of the non-unitaity through the 4-value-KM parametrization. We, then,…
I give an introduction to the theory of meson-antimeson mixing, aiming at students who plan to work at a flavour physics experiment or intend to do associated theoretical studies. I derive the formulae for the time evolution of a neutral…
In the current 3nu paradigm, flavor oscillations probe 3 mixing angles (theta_12, theta_23, theta_13), one CP phase delta, and two squared mass differences delta m^2>0 and Delta m^2, where sign(Delta m^2)=+ (-) for normal (inverted)…
Anticipating improved determinations of $m_t$, $|V_{cb}|$, $|V_{ub}/V_{cb}|$, $B_K$ and $F_B \sqrt{B_B}$ in the next five years we make an excursion into the future in order to find a possible picture of the unitarity triangle, of quark…
