Weak Decays, CKM and CP Violation
Sheldon Stone
TL;DR
This paper reviews recent experimental measurements related to weak decays of b and c quarks, focusing on CKM matrix elements, decay constants, and rare decay processes to understand CP violation.
Contribution
It summarizes key experimental results on CKM parameters, decay constants, and rare decay modes, providing an overview of current progress in heavy quark weak decays.
Findings
Measurements of Vcb and |Vub/Vcb| precision improved understanding of CKM matrix.
Determined decay constant fDs with higher accuracy.
Observed b->s gamma decay rate consistent with Standard Model predictions.
Abstract
I review several topics pertaining to Weak decays of b and c quarks, including measurements of Vcb, |Vub/Vcb|, fDs and b->s gamma.
