We present a framework to generate the quark mass hierarchies and mixing angles by extending the Standard Model with one extra Higgs doublet. The charm and strange quark masses are generated by small quantum effects, thus explaining the…
A brief overview is presented of the standard model of electroweak interactions, including precision tests, the role of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix in describing CP violation, windows on intermediate-scale physics, and the…
We propose a novel realization of the Nelson-Barr mechanism "seeded'' by a dark sector containing scalars and vector-like quarks. Charge-parity (CP) and a $\mathcal{Z}_8$ symmetry are spontaneously broken by the complex vacuum expectation…
In the $SO(5) \times U(1) \times SU(3)$ gauge-Higgs unification in the Randall-Sundrum warped space the mixing in the $W$ couplings in the quark sector is induced by masses of $SO(5)$ singlet fermions which are responsible for splitting…
We explore a flavor structure of quarks in the standard model under the assumption that flavor symmetries exist in a theory beyond the standard model, and chase after their properties, using a bottom-up approach. We reacknowledge that a…
Unitarity provides mathematical and physical constraints on quantum information systems. e.g., in entanglement swapping, unitarity requires the same von Neumann entanglement entropy generation for either a particle interaction or an act of…
We present empirical relations that connect the dimensionless ratios of fermion masses for the charged lepton, up-type quark and down-type quark sectors. Explaining these relations from first principles imposes strong constraints on the…
We propose a universal mixing hypothesis between quark and lepton sectors at high energy scale (probably GUT scale) where quark-lepton universality holds. Namely in the charged lepton diagonal base, all the other mass matrices for up and…
We propose a class of theories to generate quark and lepton mass matrices where the scale of new physics is at the TeV scale, without inducing the large flavor and CP violating processes that are often thought to relegate the origin of…
This talk gives an introduction to the Standard Model Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix and methods to extract information on the parameters of the unitarity triangle from B decays.
We construct a model based on the electroweak gauge group $\rm SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L}$ augmented by an $S_3$ symmetry. We assign nontrivial $S_3$ transformation properties to the quarks and consequently we need two scalar…
In the Standard Model, we obtain a non-Fritzsch like configuration with five texture zeros for the quark mass matrices. This matrix generates the quark masses, the inner angles of the CKM unitary triangle, and the CP-violating phase in the…
In this presentation, I review the status of selected Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements and their role in the Unitarity Triangle (UT). Since this conference concluded, many new results have been finalized and are included in…
Weak decays of heavy flavored hadrons are sensitive probes of several facets of the Standard Model. In particular the experimental study of B meson semileptonic decaysis starting to pin down the quark mixing parameters in the Cabibbo…
The flavor structure of the Standard Model might arise from random selection on a landscape. We propose a class of simple models, ``Gaussian landscapes,'' where Yukawa couplings derive from overlap integrals of Gaussian wavefunctions on…
We compare the entropy-energy inequality and the von Neumann entropic inequality for three level atom implemented on superconducting circuits with Josephson junction. The positivity of entropy and energy relations for the qutrit system are…
Flavour mixing is described within the Standard Model by the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements. With the increasingly higher statistics collected by many experiments, the matrix elements are measured with improved precision,…
In order to understand the parameters of the standard model of electroweak and strong interactions, one needs to embed the standard model into some larger theory that accounts for the observed values. This means some additional sector is…
We address the influence of quantum corrections to neutrino masses and mixings and discuss the possibilities to completely generate the flavor mixing irrespective of any tree-level flavor model. Furthermore, we describe a new class of vacua…
We explore the possible tie between the naturalness of having a very small strong CP $\theta$ parameter in the Kobayashi-Maskawa Model and the flavor symmetry. We provide many examples in which the flavor symmetry group at high energy can…
