Abstract

An up-to-date profile of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is given with emphasis on the interpretation of recent results on CP violation from the B factories. We provide a review of the relevant experimental and theoretical inputs from the contributing domains of the electroweak interaction. We give numerical and graphical constraints on the CKM parameters and predictions of related physical observables. We discuss the impact of what the data actually say on model-independent studies of new physics.
