Current Experimental Data

Realistic quark masses and mixing angles are obtained applying the successful A4 family symmetry for leptons, motivated by the quark-lepton assignments of SU (5). The A4 symmetry is suitable to give tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing matrix which is consistent with current experimental data. We study new scenario for the quark sector with the A4 symmetry.

Matrix Formula

Recently, we have proposed a quark mass matrix model based on U(3) × U(3)[Formula: see text] family symmetry, in which up- and down-quark mass matrices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are described only by complex parameters [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. When we use charged lepton masses as additional input values, we can successfully obtain predictions for quark masses and Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa mixing. Since we have only one complex parameter [Formula: see text] for each mass matrix [Formula: see text], we can obtain a parameter-independent mass relation by using three equations for [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]). In this paper, we investigate the parameter-independent feature of the quark mass relation in the model.

Parameter Constraints

Constraints on the masses of possible fourth generation quarks (a, υ) are obtained from measurements of the ρ parameter and the elements of the quark mixing matrix. Stringent mass limits are found when the off-diagonal elements Vtυ and Vab are large. For example, with mt=90 GeV and |Vtυ|≃0.5 we find ma,v≤ 300 GeV. Stronger constraints are obtained as mt or |Vtυ| increase.

Good Agreement

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 experiments at the weak scale by using the renormalization group equations in the framework of minimal supersymmetric standard model. We find that good agreement is achievable without fine-tuning.

Mixing Matrix

We study an ansatz for the quark mass matrix in which all of the nondiagonal entries are nonzero, but which still allows the quark mixing angles to be calculated in terms of ratios of quark masses and certain phases. Analytic calculations of the orthogonal rotation matrices in the up and down quark sectors and the resultant observed quark mixing matrix are presented. Comparison with experimental data is given.

Two Parameters

We present mass matrices identical in form for both the up and down quark families, with the following remarkable properties. Both up and down quark masses, at a scale of 1 GeV, are well-approximated by geometric progressions. The five known quark masses and the Kobayashi–Maskawa (KM) mixing matrix agree with experiment. The KM matrix is expressed in terms of only two parameters. We give the KM matrix in the Wolfenstein form.

Flavor Mixing

We discuss the mass matrices with texture zeros for the quarks and leptons. The flavor mixing angles for the quarks are functions of the quark masses and can be calculated. The results agree with the experimental data. The texture zero mass matrices for the leptons and the see-saw mechanism are used to derive relations between the matrix elements of the lepton mixing matrix and the ratios of the neutrino masses. Using the measured neutrino mass differences, the neutrino masses can be calculated. The neutrinoless double beta decay is discussed. The effective Majorana neutrino mass, describing the neutrinoless double beta decay, can be calculated—it is about 4.6 meV. The present experimental limit is at least twenty times larger.

A new formula relating flavor mixing and quark masses is derived from an ansatz for mass matrices. In particular, given mu, mc and |Vcb| the formula relates the top mass mt to |Vub|.
