11. THE CABIBBO-KOBAYASHI-MASKAWAQUARK-MIXING MATRIX

Revised January 2004 by F.J. Gilman (Carnegie-Mellon University), K. Kleinknecht andB. Renk (Johannes-Gutenberg Universitat Mainz).

In the Standard Model with SU(2)!U(1) as the gauge group of electroweak interactions,both the quarks and leptons are assigned to be left-handed doublets and right-handedsinglets. The quark mass eigenstates are not the same as the weak eigenstates, andthe matrix relating these bases was defined for six quarks and given an explicitparametrization by Kobayashi and Maskawa [1] in 1973. This generalizes the four-quarkcase, where the matrix is described by a single parameter, the Cabibbo angle [2].

By convention, the mixing is often expressed in terms of a 3 ! 3 unitary matrix Voperating on the charge "e/3 quark mass eigenstates (d, s, and b):

$ . (11.1)

The values of individual matrix elements can in principle all be determined fromweak decays of the relevant quarks, or, in some cases, from deep inelastic neutrinoscattering. Using the eight tree-level constraints discussed below together with unitarity,and assuming only three generations, the 90% confidence limits on the magnitude of theelements of the complete matrix are!

"0.9739 to 0.9751 0.221 to 0.227 0.0029 to 0.00450.221 to 0.227 0.9730 to 0.9744 0.039 to 0.0440.0048 to 0.014 0.037 to 0.043 0.9990 to 0.9992

#

$ . (11.2)

The ranges shown are for the individual matrix elements. The constraints of unitarityconnect di!erent elements, so choosing a specific value for one element restricts the rangeof others.

There are several parametrizations of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix.We advocate a “standard” parametrization [3] of V that utilizes angles !12, !23, !13, anda phase, "13

V =

with cij = cos !ij and sij = sin !ij for the “generation” labels i, j = 1, 2, 3. This hasdistinct advantages of interpretation, for the rotation angles are defined and labeled ina way which relate to the mixing of two specific generations and if one of these anglesvanishes, so does the mixing between those two generations; in the limit !23 = !13 = 0 thethird generation decouples, and the situation reduces to the usual Cabibbo mixing of thefirst two generations with !12 identified as the Cabibbo angle [2]. This parametrization isexact to all orders, and has four parameters; the real angles !12, !23, !13 can all be madeto lie in the first quadrant by an appropriate redefinition of quark field phases.

The matrix elements in the first row and third column, which have been directlymeasured in decay processes, are all of a simple form, and, as c13 is known to deviate from

unity only in the sixth decimal place, Vud = c12 , Vus = s12 , Vub = s13 e!i!13 , Vcb = s23 ,and Vtb = c23 to an excellent approximation. The phase !13 lies in the range 0 ! !13 < 2",with non-zero values breaking CP invariance for the weak interactions. The generalizationto the n generation case contains n(n " 1)/2 angles and (n " 1)(n " 2)/2 phases. Usingtree-level processes as constraints only, the matrix elements in Eq. (11.2) correspond tovalues of the sines of the angles of s12 = 0.2243 ± 0.0016, s23 = 0.0413 ± 0.0015, ands13 = 0.0037 ± 0.0005.

If we use the loop-level processes discussed below as additional constraints, the centralvalues of the sines of the angles do not change, and the CKM phase, sometimes referredto as the angle # = $3 of the unitarity triangle, is restricted to !13 = (1.05± 0.24) radians= 60o ± 14o.

where ci = cos %i and si = sin %i for i = 1, 2, 3. In the limit %2 = %3 = 0, this reducesto the usual Cabibbo mixing with %1 identified (up to a sign) with the Cabibbo angle [2].Note that in this case Vub and Vtd are real and Vcb complex, illustrating a di!erentplacement of the phase than in the standard parametrization.

An approximation to the standard parametrization proposed by Wolfenstein [4]emphasizes the hierarchy in the size of the angles, s12 # s23 # s13 . Setting & $ s12 , thesine of the Cabibbo angle, one expresses the other elements in terms of powers of &:

This approximateform is widely used, especially for B-physics, but care must be taken, especially forCP -violating e!ects in K-physics, since the phase enters Vcd and Vcs through terms thatare higher order in &. These higher order terms up to order (&5) are given in [5].

Another parametrization has been advocated [6] that arises naturally where one buildsmodels of quark masses in which initially mu = md = 0. With no phases in the thirdrow or third column, the connection between measurements of CP -violating e!ects for Bmesons and single CKM parameters is less direct than in the standard parametrization.

No physics can depend on which of theabove parametrizations (or any other) is used, as long as a single one is used consistentlyand care is taken to be sure that no other choice of phases is in conflict.

cosmic ray track• light yield for common: > 4.5 p.e./MeV• light yield uniformity of common readout between Front,Middle,and Rear : < 20%• cross talk of individual readout between Front , Middle , and Rear : << 1%• energy calibration : < 1% error

detector calibration & performance check have beed done with cosmic ray data

→ good performance as a photon veto detector !!

detector construction : from Apr. 2012 to Nov. 2012 @ Kyoto Univ.

Detector installed @ J-PARC Dec. 2012 → successfully finished (All channels are working well !!)

First trial data for halo neutron measurement were taken in January. Analysis is ongoing

Concept of n/γ discrimination

→ NCC : upstream veto near the beam

• Front, Middle, and Rear crystals are optically separated with aluminum mirrors

• Modules are optically separated with Teflon wrapping

• Fiber masking with black paint for optical separation

black paint

• Neutrons existing around the KL beam(halo neutron)interact with NCC , generate π0s , and π0→2γevents become background

Halo neutron background

• countermeasures for halo neutron BG• detect π0 generated event and veto → background reduction• measure the amount of halo-n & energy spectrum → background estimation
