A Second Look at Masses and Mixings of Quarks and Leptons
نویسنده
چکیده
The masses of quarks and leptons in units of mt are expressed in powers of σ = √ mc mt . The regularities found suggest specific mass matrices. They reproduce all masses and mixings in striking agreement with observation. A 90 relative phase angle between the off-diagonal elements of up and down quark matrices leads to a maximum magnitude for CP-violation and, for the phase angle γ of the unitary triangle, to γ ≃ 90.

Understanding Neutrino Masses and Mixings in the Seesaw Framework
Understanding the disparate mixing patterns between quarks and leptons is one of the major challenges in particle theory today. I discuss some of the ways to understand this difference within the seesaw framework using new symmetries of quarks and leptons. After a brief introduction to the various types of seesaw formulae, proposals for understanding large solar and atmospheric mixings for the ...
متن کاملFlavor - Nonconservation and CP - Violation with Singlet
Some aspects are considered on the flavor-nonconservation and CP -violation arising from the quark mixings with singlet quarks. In certain models incorporating the singlet quarks, the contributions of the quark couplings to the neutral Higgs fields may become more significant than those of the neutral gauge interactions. Then, they would provide distinct signatures for new physics beyond the st...
متن کاملSO(10): a theory of fermion masses and mixings
SO(10) grand unified theory seems to have all the ingredients to be a complete unified theory of quarks and leptons. I review here its minimal, possibly realistic versions, both supersymmetric and not.
متن کاملQuark and Lepton Masses from a U ( 1 ) × Z 2 Flavor Symmetry
We show that solutions for the masses and mixings of the quarks and leptons based on a U (1)×Z 2 horizontal symmetry are possible. The seesaw mechanism is shown to work consistently in the presence of the discrete symmetry. The discrete symmetry results in the phenomenologically useful suppressions of elements of the Yukawa matrices. The quark and lepton masses, the CKM mixing angles, and the n...
متن کاملOn quark-lepton complementarity
Recent measurements of the neutrino solar mixing angle and the Cabibbo angle satisfy the empirical relation θsol + θC ≃ 4 . This relation suggests the existence of a correlation between the mixing matrices of leptons and quarks, the so called quark-lepton complementarity. Here, we examine the possibility that this correlation originates in the strong hierarchy in the mass spectra of quarks and ...
