description

This review summarizes experimental information on weak couplings of quark flavours from weak decays and weak production of heavy flavours and the relation of the observed direct CP violation to a non-trivial phase in the quark mixing matrix. The interest in this field is twofold: on the one side, we can measure precisely the parameters of the standard model in its own framework; on the other side, any inconsistency amongst these measurements or evidence for any process forbidden in the standard model will lead beyond that model.
