The fit presented here is meant to constrain the NP contributions to |? F|=2 transitions by using the available experimental information on loop-mediated processes In general, NP models introduce a large number of new parameters: flavour changing couplings, short distance coefficients and matrix elements of new local operators. The specific list and the actual values of these parameters can only be determined within a given model. Nevertheless mixing processes are described by a single amplitude and can be parameterised, without loss of generality, in terms of two parameters, which quantify the difference of the complex amplitude with respect to the SM one. Thus, for instance, in the case of mixing we define

Concerning , to be conservative, we add to the short-distance contribution a possible long-distance one that varies with a uniform distribution between zero and the experimental value of .

The new physics parameters can also be rewritten as A_q = ( 1 + \frac{A^{NP}}{A^{SM}}) e^{2i}) e^{2 i \phi_{B_q}}

The experimental quantities determined from the mixings are related to their SM counterparts and the NP parameters by the following relations:
