Explaining Why the u and d Quark Masses are Similar

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-05-12 v1

Abstract

An approach is suggested for modeling quark and lepton masses and mixing in the context of grand unified theories that explains the curious fact that m_u ~ m_d even though m_t >> m_b. The structure of the quark mass matrices is such as to allow a non-Peccei-Quinn solution of the Strong CP Problem.
