Abstract
The CKM matrix, V, relates the quark mass and flavor bases. In the standard model, V is unitary 3Ã3, and specified by four arbitrary parameters, including a phase allowing for CP violation. We review the experimental determination of V, including the four parameters in the standard model context. This is an active field; the precision of experimental measurements and theoretical inputs continues to improve. The consistency of the determination with the standard model unitarity is investigated. While there remain some issues the overall agreement with standard model unitarity is good.
