Results as of summer 2007 (EPS07/LP07)
Menu:
| The results of the global CKM analysis 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. |

Constraint on α/Φ2 from B→ρπ (U and I only).
The global constraint on α from B→ρπ is a combination
of the most recent BABAR and Belle data. This combination is not
just a naive average in α but a combination in the 26
experimentally measured U and I coefficients which are correlated
among each others. The correlation matrices are provided by both
experiments, BABAR and Belle. The combined constraint has a preferred
region around 120 degrees, and two suppressed regions around
30 and 85 degrees. Central value (1-CL=1): α(°) = 119.7 1 σ interval: α(°) = [112.3 ; 130.6] 2 σ interval: α(°) = [ 25.4 ; 37.8] U [105.4 ; 153.6] |

Constraints on the angle γ/Φ3
from B decays to charm :
| Constraints on γ/Φ3 from world average D(*)K decays (GLW+ADS) and Dalitz analyses compared to the prediction from the global CKM fit (not including these measurements). &gamma[combined]; = 77 +30 / – 32° |

| Constraints on |sin(2β+γ)| from the measurement of time-dependent CP asymmetries in D(*) π (ρ). Summer 07 HFAG average is used as input. The extraction of the UT angles relies on SU(3) symmetry for the estimates of the suppressed-to-leading amplitude ratios. We use for r(*) the values given in Max Baak's talk presented at CKM06 workshop (here) |
