Abstract

Texture specific quark mass matrices which are hermitian and hierarchical are examined in detail . In the case of texture 6 zeros matrices, out of sixteen possibilities examined by us, none is able to fit the low energy data (LED), for example, Vus=0.2196±0.0023V_{us} = 0.2196 \pm 0.0023, Vcb=0.0395±0.0017V_{cb} = 0.0395 \pm 0.0017, VubVcb=0.08±0.02\frac{V_{ub}}{V_{cb}} = 0.08 \pm 0.02, VtdV_{td} lies in the range 0.0040.0130.004 - 0.013 (PDG). Similarly none of the 32 texture 5 zeros mass matrices considered is able to reproduce LED. In particular, the latest data from LEP regarding Vub/Vcb(=0.093±0.016)|V_{ub}|/|V_{cb}|(=0.093\pm0.016) rules out all of them. In the texture 4 zeros case, we find that there is a unique texture structure for UU and DD mass matrices which is able to fit the data.
