Getting at the Quark Mass Matrices

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We present a class of Ansatze for the up and down quark mass matrices which leads approximately to: |V_{us}| \sim \sqrt{m_d / m_s}, |V_{cb}| \sim m_s / m_b, and |V_{ub} / V_{cb}| \sim \sqrt{m_u / m_c}. Sizes of the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements are controlled solely by quark mass ratios. In particular, we introduce no other small parameter and our results do not rely on delicate cancellation.
