Bayesian estimate of the effect of B0B0 mixing measurements on the CKM matrix elements Original Research Article

A method employing Bayesian statistics is used to incorporate recent experimental results on Bd0Bd0 and Bs0Bs0 mixing into a measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements with small theoretical uncertainties. The neutral B meson mixing results yield a slight improvement in the estimate of vbVtdvb. Prospects for improving the knowledge of the CKM matrix elements with measurements of Bs0Bs0 mixing and the K+ → π+vv branching ratio are considered.
