A New Approach to a Global Fit of the CKM Matrix
read the original abstract
We report on a global CKM matrix analysis taking into account most recent experimental and theoretical results. The statistical framework (Rfit) developed in this paper advocates formal frequentist statistics. Other approaches, such as Bayesian statistics or the 95% CL scan method are also discussed. We emphasize the distinction of a model testing and a model dependent, metrological phase in which the various parameters of the theory are determined. Measurements and theoretical parameters entering the global fit are thoroughly discussed, in particular with respect to their theoretical uncertainties. Graphical results for confidence levels are drawn in various one and two-dimensional parameter spaces. Numerical results are provided for all relevant CKM parameterizations, the CKM elements and theoretical input parameters. Predictions for branching ratios of rare K and B meson decays are obtained. A simple, predictive SUSY extension of the Standard Model is discussed.

Complete one-loop QED corrections to $D_s^+$ leptonic decays and impact on the CKM unitarity test
Complete one-loop QED and electroweak corrections to D_s^+ leptonic decays give |V_cs| = 0.991 ± 0.007 from latest data, aligning second-column CKM unitarity with the Standard Model.

$CP$ violation in neutral kaon mixing in $D^0\rightarrow K_SK_S$
Neutral kaon mixing adds a CP-violating effect of order 10^{-6} to a_CP in D0 -> Ks Ks, arising only from second-order weak processes and thus negligible for experiments.
