Abstract

The study of B mesons gives access to fundamental parameters of the Standard Model. Four of the nine elements of the Kobayashi‐Maskawa (KM) mass mixing matrix1 for three generations of quarks can be determined by measuring B meson properties. A precise determination of these matrix elements may also lead beyond the Standard Model. Any deviation from unitarity of the KM‐matrix for three generations requires the presence of new physics, e.g. a fourth generation of quarks.
