Indirect Measurement of the Vertex and Angles of the Unitarity Triangle

The precise measurements of the Bd oscillation frequency and the limit on the Bs one one as well as the determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element Vub improve the constraints on the other elements of this matrix. A fit to the experimental data and the theory calculations leads to the determination of the vertex of the unitarity triangle as: rho = 0.160 -0.070 +0.094 eta = 0.381 -0.058 +0.061. The values of its angles, in their customary definition in terms of sines for alpha and beta, are found to be: sin(2 alpha) = 0.06 -0.42 +0.35 sin(2 beta) = 0.75 +/- 0.09 gamma = 68 -12+11o. Indirect information on non-perturbative QCD parameters, on the presence of a CP violating complex phase in the CKM matrix and on the Bs oscillation frequency are also extracted.

Experimental Constraints on the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa Matrix

The LEP investigation of the Bd and Bs oscillations and of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element Vub improve the constraints on the other elements of this matrix. From a fit to the experimental data and the theory calculations it is possible to determine the vertex of the unitarity triangle as: rho = 0.155 -0.105 +0.115 eta = 0.383 -0.060 +0.063. The corresponding values of its angles, in their customary definition in terms of sines for alpha and beta, are: sin(2 alpha) = 0.08 -0.50 +0.43 sin(2 beta) = 0.75 +/- 0.10 gamma = 68 +/- 15o. The fit also yields indirect information on the compatibility with zero of the CP violating phase of the matrix, on some non-perturbative QCD parameters and on the Bs oscillation frequency.
