Quark mixing renormalization effects in the determination of the CKM   parameters |V_{ij}|
  We briefly review existing proposals for the renormalization of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix and study the numerical effects of several of them on the W-boson hadronic partial decay widths. We then use these results to evaluate the relative shifts on the CKM parameters |V_{ij}|^2 induced by the quark mixing renormalization effects, as well as their scheme dependence. We also discuss the implications of this analysis for the most precise unitarity test of the CKM matrix.
