The Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrixThe CKM matrix plays a central role in the Standard
Model and underpins all quark flavour-changing interactions: weak interaction eigenstates quark mass eigenstates
In the Standard Model the CKM describes a unitary transformation.

To first order, b decay ft values can be expressed as:

Weak couplingstrength
phase space (Q-value)
half-life, branching ratio
For the special case of 0+ 0+ (pure Fermi) b decays between isobaric analogue states (superallowed) the matrix element isthat of an isospin ladder operator: |Mfi|2 = (T – TZ)(T + TZ + 1) = 2 (for T=1)

14O Half-Life
Initial experiment shows consistency between β and γ half-life measurements for 14O.
A follow-up experiment is scheduled for July, 2014 to push to 0.01% precision.
ft measurements for light superallowed Fermi β emitters are required to constrain scalar currents in the weak interaction.

Superallowed b Branching Ratios for A ≥ 62 and the Pandemonium
Effect
For large Q-value b decays, there are generally many weak b branches to the large number of daughter states within the Q-value window.
In the subsequent g decay, many individual g-rays may be too weak to identify.
The sum of these unobserved g intensities will, however, generally be sufficient to prevent precision determination of b decay branching ratios through g-ray spectroscopy.

Set limits on maximally parity violating weak scalar currents:
CS/CV = 0.0011 ± 0.0013
Vud determined from the superallowed data is, by far, the most preciselydetermined element of the CKM quark-mixing matrix:
|Vud| = 0.97425 ± 0.00022
and together with Vus (and Vub) provides the most demanding experimental test of the unitarity of the CKM matrix:
|Vud|2 + |Vus|2 + |Vub|2 = 1.00008 ± 0.00056
Model-dependence of the strongly nuclear structure dependent isospin symmetry breaking corrections in superallowed Fermi b decays remains a key focus of research for both the theoretical and experimental communities.
