We propose a model based on the $SU(3)_{C}\otimes SU(3)_{L}\otimes U(1)_{X}$ gauge symmetry with an extra $S_{3}\otimes Z_{2}\otimes Z_{4}\otimes Z_{12}$ discrete group, which successfully accounts for the SM quark mass and mixing pattern.…

Heavy gauge bosons such as $W^{\prime}$ are expected to exist in many extensions of the Standard Model. In this paper, it is shown that the most general Lagrangian for the interaction of $W^{\prime}$ with top and bottom quarks which…
We measure the top quark mass in top-antitop events using up to 3.6 /fb of proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt{s}=2 TeV. New results are described for matrix element methods with single lepton and dilepton channels, and template methods…
We study electroweak symmetry breaking involving the seesaw mechanism of quark condensation. These models produce a composite Higgs boson involving the left-handed top quark, yet the top mass arises naturally at the observed scale. We…
The new measurement of $W$-boson mass by the CDF collaboration revealed a remarkable $7\sigma$ disagreement with the Standard Model (SM) prediction. If confirmed by other experiments, then the disagreement strongly indicates the existence…
We summarize the results showing that all existing data on mixing between up and down fermion states (i.e. CKM matrix and neutrino oscillations) and on the hierarchical quark and lepton mass ratios between generations are consistent with…
Quark mass ratios are expressed within the linear meson model by universal relations involving only the masses and decay constants of the flavored pseudoscalars as well as their wave function renormalization. Quantitative results are in…
We take up again the study of the mass spectrum of the quark sector in a model with gauge symmetry $SU(3)_{c}\otimes SU(3)_{L}\otimes U(1)_{X}$ (331). In a special type II-like 331 model, we obtain specific zero-texture mass matrices for…
We investigate the quark sector of a four-Higgs-doublet model with an exact D_5 symmetry. In the framework of explicit CP violation, we considered the most general real vacuum, derived the quark mass matrices, and performed a numerical fit…
In a recent article, we proposed an energy correlator-based method to achieve a precision top quark mass extraction from jet substructure, using the $W$-boson mass as a standard candle. In this paper, we perform an extensive event generator…
We show that a fourth family of quarks with $m_{t'}$ in the range of (400 - 600) GeV provides a rather simple explanation for the several indications of new physics that have been observed involving CP asymmetries of the b-quark. The…
The mass hierarchies of quarks and charged leptons as well as a large $\n_\m$-$\n_\t$ mixing angle are naturally explained by the Frogatt-Nielsen mechanism with a nonparallel family structure of chiral charges. We extend this mechanism to…
The Heavy Quark Effective Theory provides a systematic method to estimate a mixing angle of hadron states in a heavy quark, such as the charm quark (c) and the bottom quark (b). By using this method, the mixing angle of the baryons…
A mechanism to have the quark mass hierarchy in the supersymmetric composite model is proposed. The source of the hierarchy is the kinetic-term mixing between composite quarks. Such mixing can be expected, if quarks are composite particles.…
