Mesons containing light and heavy quarks are studied. Interaction of quarks is described by the funnel-type potential with the distant dependent strong coupling, $\alpha_\S(r)$. Free particle hypothesis for the bound state is developed:…
Neutrino masses and mixings are investigated on the basis of a universal seesaw mass matrix model, in which quark (except for top) and charged lepton mass matrices M_f and neutrino mass matrix M_\nu are given by M_f \simeq m_L M_F^{-1} m_R…
We consider an universal mass matrix model which has a seesaw-invariant structure with the most general texture based on flavor 2 (\leftrightarrow) 3 symmetry common to all quarks and leptons. The CKM quark mixing matrix of the model is…
The CKM-matrix V is written as a linear combination of the unit matrix I and a matrix U which causes intergenerational-mixing. It is shown that such a V results from a class of quark-mass matrices. The matrix U has to be hermitian and…
The quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, which has been successfully used to describe the properties of both finite nuclei and infinite nuclear matter, is applied to a study of $\Lambda$ hypernuclei. With the assumption that the…
We have recently argued that quark masses may follow a simple scaling law. In this paper we build a simple mass matrix for quarks that can reproduce the scaling law expression. The simple mass matrices of the model are then generalized…
The experimental status of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is reviewed. Measurements discussed include B0_(s)-\bar{B}0_(s) mixing and several rare B and K decays with implications for |V_td| and |V_ts|. Extraction of |V_cb| and |V_ub|…
A democratic form version of the Rosner-Worah quark mass matrix is discussed from a phenomenological point of view. It is pointed out that an ansatz of "maximal CP violation" can provide reasonable values of the Kobayashi-Maskawa mixings.
A recent determination of the mass of the b quark, based exclusively on quantum chromodynamics (by avoiding strictly to introduce any phenomenological interaction potential of nonperturbative origin), may be improved by allowing for a…
In this paper, the issues of the quark mass hierarchies and the Cabbibo Kobayashi Maskawa mixing are analyzed in a class of intersecting D-brane configurations with Standard Model gauge symmetry. The relevant mass matrices are constructed…
Corrections to the exact heavy--quark symmetry results are expected to follow the $1/m_{Q}$ mass effect of the heavy--quark. We show, by an explicit calculation, that there is something other than the mass effect that suppresses the…
The mass matrices of charged fermions have a simple structure if expressed in powers of the small parameter sigma=(m_c/m_t)^{1/2}. It is suggested that the mass matrix of the three heavy neutrinos occuring in grand unified theories can be…
We establish a connection between the quark model results and the $1/N_c$ expansion mass formula used in the description of baryon resonances. We show that a remarkable compatibility exists between the two methods.
To solve the mystery of flavor structure, we demonstrate two revelations emerging from the hierarchical masses of quarks: one for the mass matrix itself and one for the CKM mixing. These revelations naturally lead to a non-redundant,…
The angles of all unitarity triangles of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix are determined from the experimental data. Our analysis is independent of the parameterization of the CKM matrix and it is based on the predictions of the…
The strange quark mass is determined from a study of the correlator of the divergence of the strange vector current using a family of finite energy sum rules recently shown to be very accurately satisfied in the isovector vector channel. It…
We present a revised version of the so-called "yukawaon model", which was proposed for the purpose of a unified description of the lepton mixing matrix $U_{PMNS}$ and the quark mixing matrix $V_{CKM}$. It is assumed from a phenomenological…
A quaternionic version of Quantum Mechanics is constructed using the Schwinger's formulation based on measurements and a Variational Principle. Commutation relations and evolution equations are provided, and the results are compared with…
A specific universal shape of empirical mass formula is proposed for all leptons $\nu_1, \nu_2, \nu_3$ and $e^-, \mu^-, \tau^- $ as well as all quarks $u, c, t$ and $d, s, b$ of three generations, parametrized by three free constants $ \mu,…
The strange quark mass is determined from a QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) optimized to reduce considerably the systematic uncertainties arising from the hadronic resonance sector, as well as from the poor convergence of the pseudoscalar…
