CP Violation
• C (charge conjugation) : particle
P (parity) : right-handed
antiparticle
left-handed
• Matter-antimatter asymmetry in universe requires
CP-violating interactions (Sakharov 1967)
• CP violation has been experimentally observed:
in K meson system (1963)
in B meson system (1998)
• The Standard Model:
the origin of CP violation is a complex phase
of the “CKM matrix” (1973).

Although different parametrizations of the quark mixing matrix are
mathematically equivalent, the consequences of experimental analysis
may be distinct.
The magnitude of the elements Vij are physical quantities which do not
depend on parametrization. However, the CP-violating phase does.
As a result, the understanding of the origin of CP violation is associated
with the parametrization.
 e.g., the prediction based on the maximal CP violation hypothesis is
related with the parametrization, or in other words, phase convention.
i.e., with the original KM parametrization, one can get successful
predictions on the unitarity triangle from the maximal CP violation
hypothesis.

Parametrizations of the CKM matrix
Exact parametrizations
-- KM parametrization (1973)
-- Maiani parametrization (1977)
-- CK (Standard) parametrization (1984)
Approximate parametrizations
-- Wolfenstein parametrization (1983)
-- Qin-Ma parametrization (2011)

Kobayashi-Maskawa parametrization (1973)
The first parametrization of the CKM matrix by KM

There is one disadvantage in this parametrization:
the matrix element Vtb (of order 1) has a large imaginary
part.
 Since CP-violating effects are known to be small, it is
desirable to parameterize the mixing matrix in such a
way that the imaginary part appears with a smaller
coefficient.
Sechul Oh
14
Maiani parametrization (1977)
This parametrization has a nice feature that its imaginary
part is proportional to s23 sin f , which is of order 10-2 .
It was once proposed by PDG (1986 eidtion) to be the
standard parametrization for the quark mixing matrix.

This parametrization is equivalent to the Maiani one, after
the quark field redefinition:
The imaginary part is proportional to s13 sin f , which is
of order 10-3 .
Sechul Oh
17
Wolfenstein parametrization (1983)
In 1983, it was realized that the bottom quark decays
predominantly to the charm quark:
Wolfenstein then noticed that
and introduced
an approximate parametrization of the CKM matrix
-- a parametrization in which unitarity only holds
approximately.
This parametrization is practically very useful and has since
become very popular.

Qin-Ma argued that “one has difficulty to arrive at the
Wolfenstein parametrization from the triminimal
parametrization of the KM matrix.”
However, it can be shown that both Wolfenstein & Qin-Ma
parametrizations can be obtained easily from the KM & CK
parametrizations to be discussed from now on.

The CKM matrix elements are the fundamental parameters
in the SM, the precise determination of which is highly
crucial and will be performed in future experiments such
as LHCb and Super B factory ones.
Apparently, if the CKM matrix is expressed in a particular
parametrization, such as the Wolfenstein one, having an
approximated form in terms of a small expansion
parameter l , then high order l terms in the CKM matrix
elements to be determined in the future precision
experiments will become more and more important.
Sechul Oh
31
It was pointed out that as in any perturbative expansion,
high order terms in l are not unique in the Wolfenstein
parametrization, though the nonuniqueness of the high
order terms does not change the physics.
Thus, if one keeps using only one parametrization, there
would not be any problem.
However, if one tries to compare the values of certain
parameters, such as l , used in one parametrization with
those used in another parametrization, certain
complications can occur, because of the nonuniqueness of
the high order terms in l .
Sechul Oh
32
Since the CKM matrix can be parametrized in infinitely
many ways with three rotation angles and one CP-odd
phase, it is desirable to find a certain systematic way to
resolve these complications and to keep consistency
between the CKM matrix elements expressed in different
parametrizations.

Summary
 We have discussed several different parametrizations of the quark
mixing matrix.
 The approximated parametrizations, such as the Wolfenstein &
Qin-Ma ones, can be obtained easily from the exact parametrizations,
such as the KM & CK ones.
 Seeming discrepancies appearing at high order in the Wolfenstein
& Wolfenstein-like parametrization can be systematically resolved.
Thank you!
