Weak charged-current transitions between quark mass eigenstates with amplitudes set by the CKM matrix.
wp-physics-ckm_matrixpdg-2026-ckmtong-particleEach relation below ends at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The CKM matrix governs quark flavor mixing in charged-current weak interactions.
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.
wp-physics-ckm_matrixnlab-physics-ckm_matrixpdg-2026-ckmThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Kaon CP violation motivated the search for a complex quark-mixing structure.
The source experiment, observation, anomaly, or problem materially motivated the development, revision, or acceptance of the target concept. Historical influence is not logical derivation; the edge detail states the documented role and avoids retrospective origin myths.

The charged-current weak interaction changes quark flavor according to CKM amplitudes.
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.
