Although the unitarity triangles ($UTs$) carry information about the Kobayashi-Maskawa (KM) quark mixing matrix, it explicitly contains just three parameters which is one short to completely fix the KM matrix. It has been shown recently, by us, that the unitarity boomerangs ($UB$) formed using two $UTs$, with a common inner angle, can completely determine the KM matrix and, therefore, better represents, quark mixing. Here, we study detailed properties of the $UBs$, of which there are a total 18 possible. Among them, there is only one which does not involve very small angles and is the ideal one for practical uses. Although the $UBs$ have different areas, there is an invariant quantity, for all $UBs$, which is equal to a quarter of the Jarlskog parameter $J$ squared. Hunting new physics, with a unitarity boomerang, can reveal more information, than just using a unitarity triangle.

  1. Rephasing invariant structure of CP phase for simplified mixing matrices in Fritzsch--Xing parametrization

    hep-ph 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Under the approximations U13^e = 0 and U23^e = 0, the Fritzsch-Xing CP phase equals the sum of the neutrino-intrinsic phase and the relative phase between the first two generations.
