A Review of the Magnitudes of the CKM Matrix Elements
arXiv:0811.3540 · doi:10.1142/S0217751X08043115
Abstract
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, allowing for more stringent tests of the Standard Model. In this paper, a review of the current status of the absolute values of the CKM matrix elements is presented, with particular attention to the latest measurements.
