Babu, K S

We propose a new perturbative parametrization of the quark mixing matrix (Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix) V-italic, in terms of xi = Vertical BarV-italic/sub u-italic//sub s-italic/V/sub cb/Vertical Bar/sup 1/2/approx. =0.11. Generalization to a fourth generation is conjectured and its phenomenological implications on C-italicP-italic nonconservation in the neutral-K-italic-meson system are discussed.
