Triangular Textures for Quark Mass Matrices
نویسندگان
چکیده
The hierarchical quark masses and small mixing angles are shown to lead to a simple triangular form for the U and D-type quark mass matrices. In the basis where one of the matrices is diagonal, each matrix element of the other is, to a good approximation, the product of a quark mass and a CKM matrix element. The physical content of a general mass matrix can be easily deciphered in its triangular form. This parameterization could serve as a useful starting point for model building. Examples of mass textures are analyzed using this method.

A 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 کاملClassification and Application of Triangular Quark Mass Matrices
The hierarchical structure in the quark masses and mixings allows its ten physical parameters to be most conveniently encoded in mass matrices of the upper triangular form. We classify these matrices in the hierarchical, minimal parameter basis where the mismatch between the weak and mass eigenstates involves only small mixing angles. Ten such pairs are obtained for the up and down quarks. This...
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 کاملMore on triangular mass matrices for fermions
A direct proof is given here which shows that instead of 6 complex numbers, the triangular mass matrix for each sector could just be expressed in terms of 5 by performing a specific weak basis transformation, leading therefore to a new textures for triangular mass matrices. Furthermore, starting with the set of 20 real parameters for both sectors, it can shown that 6 redundant parameters can be...
متن کاملFriedberg-Lee Symmetry for Quark Masses and Flavor Mixing
We point out a generic correlation between the Friedberg-Lee symmetry of quark mass operators and the vanishing of quark masses. We make phenomenological explorations on two textures of quark mass matrices with the broken Friedberg-Lee symmetry. We present a new pattern of quark mass matrices in agreement with current experimental data. Both analytical and numerical results of our calculations ...
