Complete CKM quark mixing via dimensional deconstruction

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v3

Abstract

It is shown that the deconstruction of [SU(2)×U(1)]N[SU(2)\times U(1)]^N into [SU(2)×U(1)][SU(2)\times U(1)] is capable of providing all necessary ingredients to completely impliment the complex CKM mixing of quark flavors. The hierarchical structure of quark masses originates from the difference in the deconstructed chiral zero-mode distribution in theory space, while the CP-violating phase comes from the genuinely complex vacuum expectation value of link fields. The mixing is constructed in a specific model to satisfy experimental bounds on quarks' masses and CP violation.
