Implications of unitarity and precision measurements on CKM matrix elements
Unitarity along with precision measurements of sin2\beta, V_{us} and V_{cb}
allows one to find a lower bound V_{ub}\geq 0.0035 which, on using the recently
measured angle \alpha of the unitarity triangle, translates to V_{ub}=
0.0035\pm 0.0002. This precise value, stable for a good deal of changes in
\alpha, along with CP violating phase \delta found from unitarity allows the
construction of a `precise' CKM matrix. The above unitarity based value of
V_{ub} is in agreement with the latest exclusive value used as input by UTfit,
CKMfitter, HFAG, however underlines the so called `tension' faced by the latest
inclusive V_{ub}=0.00449 \pm 0.00033. Further, using this inclusive value of
V_{ub} along with the latest sin2\beta, one finds \delta=23 ^{\rm o}- 39 ^{\rm
o}, again in conflict with \delta measured in B-decays. The calculated ranges
of the elements of the CKM matrix are in excellent agreement with those
obtained recently by UTfit, CKMfitter and HFAG. Also, the ratio
\frac{V_{ts}}{V_{td}} is in agreement with its latest measured value, whereas
there is some disagreement between the `measured' and the calculated V_{td}
values.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure, incorporated latest dat
