CKM mixings from mass matrices with five texture zeros

Abstract

In this work we carry out an exhaustive study to find quark mass matrices in the Standard Model~(SM), with the maximum number of texture zeros consistent with the experimental data. We found four viable configurations of five texture zeros that adjust the quark masses, the mixing angles and the CP violation phase, with deviations below 1σ1\sigma level respect to the current SM best fit values. One of the most important aspects of this work is an economic procedure to find the texture zeros: we resort to the weak basis transformation method, which, as we will show, exhaustively search every possible configuration. We report various leading order relations between the mixing angles and the quark masses for each case.
