First unitarity-independent determination of the CKM matrix elements $V_{t d}$ , $V_{t s}$ , and ${V_{tb}$ and the implications for unitarity

arXiv:hep-ph/9712421

Abstract

The magnitudes of the CKM matrix elements $V_{t d}$ , $V_{t s}$ , and $V_{t b}$ are determined for the first time without any assumptions of unitarity. The implications for the unitarity of the CKM matrix as a whole are discussed.
