Description

The CKM matrix elements Vcb and Vub are key inputs for the prediction of flavour-changing processes and for testing the Standard Model at the precision frontier. Despite significant progress on both experimental and theoretical fronts, persistent tensions remain between their inclusive and exclusive determinations. In this talk, I will review the current status of these determinations, with a particular focus on their phenomenological impact, including implications for rare kaon decays.
