Hierarchy and Up-Down Parallelism of Quark Mass Matrices
نویسندگان
چکیده
In view of the quark mass hierarchy and in the assumption of the up-down parallelism, we derive two phenomenologically-favored patterns of Hermitian quark mass matrices from the quark flavor mixing matrix. We compare one of them with two existing Ansätze proposed by Rosner and Worah and by Roberts et al, and find that only the latter is consistent with the present experimental data.

Quark Mass Matrices in Superstring Models
Four simple but realistic patterns of quark mass matrices are derived from orbifold models of superstring theory in the absence of gauge symmetries. Two of them correspond to the Ramond-Roberts-Ross types, which have five texture zeros in up and down quark sectors. The other two, with four texture zeros, preserve the structural parallelism between up and down sectors. The phenomenological conse...
متن کاملFour-Zero Texture of Hermitian Quark Mass Matrices and Current Experimental Tests
We show that the four-zero texture of Hermitian quark mass matrices can survive current experimental tests: it is able to yield sufficiently large predictions for the flavor mixing parameter |Vub/Vcb| and the CP-violating parameter sin 2β, without fine-tuning of the input values of quark masses, provided the (2,2), (2,3) and (3,3) elements of up and down mass matrices roughly satisfy a geometri...
متن کاملFlavor Democracy and Quark Mass Matrices *
Based on experimental mass hierarchy, a set of flavor–democratic (FD) quark mass matrices at low energies is discussed. The model predicts CP violation parameters J CP = (0.3 ± 0.2) 10 −4 and ε ′ /ε = (0.6 ± 0.5) 10 −3. However, this simple FD model also predicts a physical top quark mass not much higher than 100 GeV. As a next step, we assume that the Standard Model (SM) breaks down around som...
متن کاملA New Approach to Texture Analysis of Quark Mass Matrices
The triangular basis is proposed as an efficient way of analyzing general quark mass matrices. Applying the method to hermitian hierarchical matrices with five texture zeros, analytic predictions for quark mixing can be readily obtained. One unique texture pair is found most favorable with present data. Some remarks are also made concerning parallel textures between the up and down quark mass m...
متن کاملA String-inspired Ansatz for Quark Masses and Mixing
We propose a simple but realistic pattern of quark mass matrices at the string scale, which can be derived from orbifold models of superstring theory with no use of gauge symmetries. This pattern is left-right symmetric and preserves the structural parallelism between up and down quark sectors. Its phenomenological consequences on flavor mixing and CP violation are confronted with current exper...
