Numerical results:

A brief document that provides the collection of up-to-date inputs to the global CKM analysis and the numerical results obtained from it. The results include: Wolfenstein parameters, UT angles, (combinations of) CKM elements, theory parameters and rare branching fractions. Detailed background information on the methodology and the treatment of experimental and theoretical uncertainties is provided in hep-ph/0406184.

New physics in B0- B0bar Mixing

New physics in B0- B0bar Mixing described model-independently by introducing two new parameters measuring the relative strength (rd2) and the relative phase between the B0- B0bar mixing matrix element containing contributions from SM as well as from NP contributions compared to SM contributions only.
