Quark flavor mixing and its physical implications. [Review]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7025964
Developments on the subject of flavor mixing, especially the Kobayashi-Maskawa model, since the Tokyo conference in 1978 are reviewed. Aspects discussed include the following: history of the development of the understanding of weak interaction quark states, the determination of the mixing matrix V, nonleptonic decays (the ..delta..I = 1/2 rule of K decays, charm nonleptonic decays), the neutron electric dipole moment, decay interference from CP violation, dynamical origin of the quark flavor mixing, and alternatives to the three doublet model. 34 references, 1 figure.
