In addition to the well-known $B \to D^{(*)} \ell \nu_\ell$ decays, semileptonic $B_s \to D_s^{(*)} \ell \nu_\ell$ processes offer the possibility to determine the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element $\vert V_{cb}\vert$. We…
The present status of universality tests of the weak couplings for quarks and leptons is reviewed, with updated information for the muon lifetime and for first-row inputs in the CKM matrix. We discuss the impact of this high-precision SM…
We present the status of the Unitarity Triangle Analysis (UTA), within the Standard Model (SM) and beyond, with experimental and theoretical inputs updated for the ICHEP 2010 conference. Within the SM, we find that the general consistency…
We provide a short account of the effects one expects on meson-antimeson oscillations in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). This issue is largely dependent on the assumptions made on the MSSM parameter space.…
In this addendum to "$B_s$ mixing observables and $|V_{td}/V_{ts}|$ from sum rules" \cite{King:2019lal} we study the impact of the recent improvements in the theoretical precision of $B$ meson mixing onto CKM unitarity fits. Our key results…
The unitarity based analysis carried out in hep-ph/0106161, involving the evaluation of Jarlskog's rephasing invariant parameter J and the angles of the unitarity triangle is extended to include the effects of K^0-\bar K^0 and B^0-\bar B^0…
In this letter, using a rephasing invariant formula $\delta = \arg [ { V_{ud} V_{us} V_{c b} V_{tb} / V_{ub} \det V_{\rm CKM} }]$, we evaluate the CP phase $\delta$ of the CKM matrix $V_{\rm CKM}$ perturbatively for small quark mixing…
The relations $|V_{ub}/V_{cb}|=(m_u/m_c)^{1/2}$ and $|V_{td}/V_{ts}|=(m_d/m_s)^{1/2}$ between the CKM matrix elements and the quark masses are shown to imply a remarkably precise determination of the CKM unitarity triangle or of the…
Deviations from unitarity of the CKM matrix in the quark sector are considered excellent windows to probe physics beyond the Standard Model. In its leptonic counterpart, the PMNS matrix, these searches are particularly motivated, as the new…
We calculate the K^{0}-\bar{K}^{0}, B_{d,s}^{0}-\bar{B}_{d,s}^{0} mixing mass differences \Delta M_K, \Delta M_{d,s} and the CP-violating parameter \epsilon_{K} in the Littlest Higgs (LH) model. For f/v as low as 5 and the Yukawa parameter…
We review the experimental status of the angles of the Unitarity Triangle of the CKM matrix, as measured by the BABAR and Belle experiments.
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},…
Using a technique that is not subject to first-order SU(3) symmetry breaking effects, we determine the $V_{us}$ element of the CKM matrix from data on semileptonic hyperon decays. We obtain $V_{us}$ =0.2250(27). This value is of similar…
The UT{\it{fit}} Collaboration has produced several analyses in the context of flavour physics both within and beyond the Standard Model. In this paper we present updated results for the Standard Model analysis of the Unitarity Triangle…
The CKM paradigm has been proven to be successful in explaining the flavour structure of the standard model and the non-trivial imaginary phase of the CKM matrix is the only know source of CP-violation. B-meson decays allow us to precisely…
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…
We review the status of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements and the CP-violating phases in the CKM-unitarity triangle. The emphasis in these lecture notes is on $B$-meson physics, though we also review the current status and…
We review and update the constraints on the parameters of the quark flavour mixing matrix $V_{CKM}$ in the standard model and estimate the resulting CP asymmetries in $B$ decays, taking into account recent experimental and theoretical…
Motivated by the possibility of the low value of sin2\beta in the measurements of BABAR and BELLE collaborations, a reference unitarity triangle is constructed using the unitarity of the CKM matrix and the experimental values of the well…
A global fit to quark flavour-physics data disfavours the Standard Model with 3.6 standard deviations and points towards new CP-violating physics in meson-antimeson mixing amplitudes. Tevatron data call for a new Bs-Bs-bar mixing phase and…
