Motivation In the hunt for New Physics (e.g. Supersymmetry) the Standard Model (SM) needs to be scrutinized in various ways
One interesting area is the study of the Cabbibo-Kobayashi- Maskawa (CKM) matrix, since Absolute values of the CKM elements affect hadronic decays Its single phase predicts CP violation in the SM
Especially interesting are processes that involve b quarks, as effects of New Physics may become visible e.g. B0dB0d and B0sB0s mixing CP violation in the B system, CP asymmetry of BJ/Ks Rare B decays BXs

The Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa Matrix A convenient representation of the CKM matrix is the small-angle Wolfenstein approximation to order O(6) The unitarity relation that represents a triangle (called Unitarity Triangle) in the - plane involves all 4 independent CKM parameters , A, , and

Global Fit Methods Different approaches exist: The scanning method a frequentist approach first developed for the BABAR physics book (M. Schune, S. Plaszynski), extended by Dubois-Felsmann et al RFIT, a frequentist approach that maps out the theoretical parameter space in a single fit A.Hcker et al, Eur.Phys.J. C21, 225 (2001) The Bayesian approach that adds experimental & theoretical errors in quadrature M. Ciuchini et al, JHEP 0107, 013 (2001) A frequentist approach by Dresden group K. Schubert and R. Nogowski The PDG approach F. Gilman, K. Kleinknecht and D. Renker Present inputs for determinig the UT are based on measurements of B semi-leptonic decays,md, ms, & |K| that specify the sides and the CP asymmetry acp(KS) that specifies angle Though many measurements are rather precise already the precision of the UT is limited by non gaussian errors in theoretical quantities th(bu,cl), BK, fBBB,

The Scanning Method An unbiased, conservative approach to extract from the observables is the so-called scanning method
We have extended the method adopted for the BABAR physics book (M.H. Schune and S. Plaszczynski) to deal with the problem of non-Gassian theoretical uncertainties in a consistent way
We factorize quantities affected by non-Gaussian uncertainties (th) from the measurements
We select specific values for the theoretical parameters
& perform a maximum likelihood fit using a frequentist approach
We perform many individual fits scanning over the allowed theoretical parameter space in each of these parameters
We either plot - 95% CL contours or use the central values to explore correlations among the theoretical parameters
G. Eigen, U Bergen
The Scanning Method For a particular set of theoretical parameters (called a model M) we perform a 2 minimization to determine
Here denotes an observable & Y accounts for statistical and systematic error added in quadrature while F(x) represents the theoretical parameters affected by non-Gaussian errors
For Gaussian error contributions of the theoretical parameters we include specific terms in the 2
Minimization has 3 aspects: Model is consistent with data if P(2M)min > 5% For these obtain best estimates for plot 95%CL contour The contours of various fits are overlayed For accepted fits we study the correlations among the theoretical parameters extending their range far beyond the range specified by the theorists
G. Eigen, U Bergen
Treatment of ms Ciuchini et al use 2 term (A-1)2/A2-A2/A2 to include limit on ms in the global fits
We found that for individual fits that the 2 is not well behaved
Therefore, we have derived a 2 term based on the significamce of measuring ms withtruncated at 0For An=12.4667, l=0.055 ps and reproduces 95% CL limit of14.4 ps-1

Differnces in the 3 Methods There are big differences wrt the Bayesian Method, both conceptually and quantitatively (treatment of non-Gaussian errors).
We assume no statistical distribution for non-Gaussian theoretical uncertainties The region covered by contours of the scanning method in space is considerably larger than the region of Bayesian approach Rfit scans finding a solution in the theoretical parameter space
In Rfit the central range has equal likelihood, but no probability statements can be made for individual points In the scanning method the individual contours have statistical meaning: a center point exist which has the highest probability
The mapping of to is not one-to-one In the scan method one can track which values of are preferred by the theoretical parameters

Include CP asymmetry in BKS BKs is an bsss penguin decay
In SM aCP(Ks)=aCP(Ks), but it may be different in other models
Present BABAR/Belle measurements yield for sine term in CP asymmetry
Parameterize aCP(Ks) by including additional phase s in global fit s For present measurements the - plane is basically unaffected
The discrepancy between a(Ks) and a(Ks) is absorbed by s
With present statistics s is consistent with 0

In the presence of new physics: i) remain primarily tree level
ii) there would be a new contribution to K-K mixing constraint: small
iii) unitarity of the 3 generation CKM matrix is maintained if there are no new quark generations
Under these circumstances new physics effects can be described by two parameters:
Then, e.g.:

Model independent Analysis: rd-d The introduction of phase d weakens effect of sin 2 measurement contours exceed both upper & lower bounds
The introduction of scale factor weakens md & ms bounds letting the fits extend into new region Using present measurementsrdd
G. Eigen, U Bergen
Conclusions The scanning method provides a conservative, robust method with a reasonable treatment of non-gaussian theoretical uncertainties
This allows to to avoid fake conflicts or fluctuations This is important for believing that any observed significant discrepancy is real indicating the presence of New Physics
In future fits another error representing discrepacies in the quark-hadron duality may need to be included
The scan methods yields significantly larger ranges for & than the Bayesian approach
Due to the large theoretical uncertainties all measurements are consistent with the SM expectation
The deviation of aCP(KS) from aCP(KS) is interesting but not yet significant Model-independent parameterizations will become important in the future
G. Eigen, U Bergen
Future Scenario Use precision of measured quantities and theoretical uncertainties specified in previous table expected by 2011
In addition, branching ration for Bl was increased by ~25% and |Vcb|F(1) was decreased by ~4% since otherwise no fits with P(2)>5% are found!
In this example, preferred - region is disjoint with sin 2 band from a(Ks)rdd
