Hierarchy and Up-Down Parallelism of Quark Mass Matrices

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

In view of the quark mass hierarchy and in the assumption of the up-down parallelism, we derive two phenomenologically-favored patterns of Hermitian quark mass matrices from the quark flavor mixing matrix. We compare one of them with two existing {\it Ansa¨\it\ddot{a}tze} proposed by Rosner and Worah and by Roberts {\it et al}, and find that only the latter is consistent with the present experimental data.
