Unitarily of CKM matrix implies:
Areas of triangles are equal but lengths of the sides are not

Measuring the B B flavor oscillation
Time evolution of BB Schrödinger-like equation Probability for flavor oscillation
Time evolution of BBIn case of CP violation
mass eigenstates of BB are:
Time evolution of the mass eigenstates
mass eigenstates propagate not the flavor eigenstates
=
Schrödinger-like equationThe time evolution of flavored B (B)
obey Schrödinger-like equation
M is the mass matrix is the decay matrix
Solving eigenvalue equation:
mB=Re(+ - -) and B= -2Im(+ - -)
+ = H and - = L
Flavor oscillation
can be used for flavor propagation in time
The time-dependent probabilities proportional to:
~1

Flavor oscillation depends on mB:
