Abstract

Using unitarity, unlike the approaches available in the literature, we have constructed 9 independent representations of CKM matrix starting with each of the 9 elements of the matrix. The relationship of these independently constructed representations with the already available ones in the literature has been compared and discussed. Further, the implications of these representations have been explored for some of the CKM parameters such as δ, J and ε_k. Interestingly, we find that the PDG representation which is equivalent to our first representation seems to be most appropriate to incorporate the hierarchy of the elements of the CKM matrix as well as to describe the related phenomenology.
