G. Dattoli et al., EXPONENTIAL AND WOLFENSTEIN PARAMETRIZATIONS OF THE CKM MATRIX, Nuovo cimento della Società Italiana di Fisica. A. Nuclei, particles and fields, 109(10), 1996, pp. 1425-1437
The derivation of the Wolfenstein form of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskaw
a matrix (V) over cap from exponential parametrization is discussed. I
t is proved that at order lambda(3) a one-to-one correspondence exists
between the Wolfenstein parameters and the entries of matrix (A) over
cap that generates (V) over cap. The importance of exponential parame
trization in generating mass matrices is analysed. The usefulness of t
he entries of (A) over cap in analysing the experimental data is also
discussed.
