New data from neutrino oscillation experiments motivate us to extend a successful mass relation for the charged leptons to the other fundamental fermions. This new universal relation requires a Dirac mass around 3 10^-2 eV for the lightest…
The various mass relations among members of quark and lepton families are given. Three mass relations for the charm, beauty, and top quark family members are given and three mass relations for the electron, muon, and tau lepton family…
The charged lepton masses may be parametrized in a Z3-symmetric language appropriate to the discussions of Koide's formula. The phase parameter \delta_L appearing in this parametrization is experimentally indistinguishable from 2/9. We…
We determine theoretically the relation between the total number of protons $N_{p}$ and the mass number $A$ (the charge to mass ratio) of nuclei and neutron cores with the model recently proposed by Ruffini et al. (2007) and we compare it…
Determining the absolute masses of neutrinos is of fundamental importance in particle physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics. We conjecture that intrinsic mass relations exist between leptons and quarks. Using these relations and…
By assuming the existence of (quasi)-linear Regge trajectories for 25-plet mesons in the low energy region, we derive a new, 14th power, meson mass relation. This relation may be reduced to a quadratic Gell-Mann-Okubo type formula by…
A suggestive phenomenological relation is found among the lepton and quark masses which suggests a new insight into the problem of generations and also gives a prediction for the top quark mass in agreement with the range of values which is…
For integer values of its free parameter, an empirical formula reproduces fairly well the mass values of the $\mu$ and $\tau$ leptons as if they were excited states of the electron. Trident production might possibly be due to constituent…
A candidate for the simple empirical neutrino mass formula is found, predicting the mass proportion m_1:m_2:m_3 = 0:4:24 and so, the mass ratio Delta m^2_{32}/Delta m^2_{21} = 35 not inconsistent with its experimental estimate. It involves…
Exponential lepton mass ratios are studied in a low energy phenomenology. In view of the known data, the mass patterns of the charged leptons and widely discussed quasi-degenerate neutrinos are related to one another by two different traits…
As a result of identification of the solution to the solar neutrino problem, a rather precise relation theta_{sun} + theta_C = pi/4 between the leptonic 1-2 mixing angle theta_{sun} and the Cabibbo angle has emerged. It would mean that the…
The masses of quarks and leptons in units of $m_t$ are expressed in powers of $\sigma=\sqrt{m_c/m_t}$. The regularities found suggest specific mass matrices. They reproduce all masses and mixings in striking agreement with observation. A 90…
We construct phenomenological quark-lepton mass matrices based on S$_3$ permutation symmetry in a manner fully compatible with SU(5) grand unification. The Higgs particles we need are {\bf 5}, {\bf 45} and their conjugates. The model gives…
It is shown that the difference in the distributions of positive ($\mu^+$) and negative charged leptons ($\mu^-$) in reactions $\gamma \gamma \to \mu^+\mu^-+\nu\bar\nu$ and $\gamma \gamma \to W^\pm\mu^\mp +\nu(\bar\nu)$ at $\sqrt{s}>200$…
Has any progress been made on understanding and predicting the 13 parameters which describe the observed masses and mixing angles of the quarks and leptons? Arguments are given in favor of pursuing schemes in which grand unified and family…
We propose the relation $M_\Lambda \sim (M_{Pl} M_U)^{1/2}$ where $M_\Lambda$, $M_{Pl},$ and $M_U$ denote the mass scale associated with the cosmological constant, the gravitational interaction, and the size of the universe respectively.
In this paper we present a connection between the results obtained from a semiclassical study of a relativistic, two-body system, and the leptons masses. Some possible consequences are also discussed.
Based on a new approach to quark and lepton masses, where the mass spectra originate in vacuum expectation values of O(3)-flavor 1+5 (gauge singlet) scalars, a neutrino mass matrix of a new type is speculated. The mass matrix is described…
Conventionally, the observed charged leptons are regarded the simultaneous eigenstates of "mass" and "family". Against this view, we discuss a possibility that the observed charged leptons $e_i=(e, \mu, \tau)$ are not identical with the…
An approximate Z_3 family symmetry is proposed for leptons which results in a neutrino mass matrix with sin^2 2 theta_atm = 1 and tan^2 theta_sol = 0.5, but the latter value could easily be smaller. A generic requirement of this approach is…
