Bayesian estimate of the effect of B^0B^0bar mixing measurements on the CKM matrix elements

Abstract

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 improvement in the estimation of Vtd.
