After briefly summarizing the impact of the new experimental determinations, I will concentrate in this talk on the theoretical progresses, coming in particular from lattice QCD calculations. These results lead to the estimate |V_us|=0.2250 +- 0.0021, in good agreement with the expectation based on the determination of |V_ud| and the unitarity of the CKM matrix.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-05-26T09:03:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "lattice qcd calculations", "kaon semileptonic decays", "ckm matrix element", "experimental determinations", "concentrate" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 683421, "adsabs": "2005hep.ph....5223L" } } }
