The hypothesis of a real Cabibbo Kobayashi Maskawa matrix

The hypothesis of a real Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix has been considered and found to be disfavoured by present measurements even when neglecting results from CP violation in neutral Kaon decay. The Best Linear Unbiased Estimator has been used as a statistical approach to compute the Confidence Level. A new way to take into account the information from Bs mesons oscillations has been considered, reducing considerably the error on extractions of rho and eta parameter of the Wolfenstain parametrization of the matrix.

An electromagnetic shashlik calorimeter with longitudinal segmentation

A novel technique for longitudinal segmentation of shashlik calorimeters has been tested in the CERN West Area beam facility. A 25 tower very fine samplings e.m. calorimeter has been built with vacuum photodiodes inserted in the first 8 radiation lengths to sample the initial development of the shower. Results concerning energy resolution, impact point reconstruction and electron/pion separation are reported.

A real CKM matrix?

The hypothesis of a real Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix has been considered and found to be disfavoured by present measurements even when neglecting results from CP violation in neutral Kaon decay. This result contradicts statements reported in hep-ph/9810333.
