(S)quark Masses and Non-Abelian Horizontal Symmetries

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-09-15 v1

Abstract

We present a model of quark and squark masses which is based on a non-Abelian horizontal symmetry. It leads to order of magnitude relations between quark mass ratios and mixing angles and to the successful exact relation sinθC=mdms\sin \theta_C=\sqrt {m_d\over m_s} to better than 20%20\% accuracy. The non-Abelian symmetry also ensures the necessary squark degeneracy to suppress FCNC mediated by loops with squarks and gluinos, in the neutral meson systems.
