Some Recent Results Precision Test of CKM Unitarity (Marciano and Sirlin, PRL 96, 032002 [2006]) |V ud | 2 +|V us | 2 +|V ub | 2 =1 10 -5 Superallowed Nuclear Beta Decays (0 + 0 + ) Electroweak Radiative Corrections ~4% Uncertainties? Was: V ud = 0.9736(2)(4) RC Now: V ud = 0.97377(11)(15)(19) RC New Ingredients: Bjorken Sum Rule Analogy Large N QCD (Resonances)
