A NEW METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE Vud QUARKMIXING MATRIX ELEMENT. KU Leuven
This project aims at a new measurement of the Vud CKM matrix element in order to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. According to the Standard Model (SM) of elementary particles the CKM matrix should be unitary. Deviations from unitarity point to new physics beyond the SM. Unitarity can be verified experimentally by measuring the 3 upper-row matrix elements, who’s values squared should add up to 1. This has now been verified to ...
