Determinations of CKM matrix elements are clouded by uncertainties in nonperturbative QCD parameters that relate measurable quantities to the underlying parton-level processes. A principal goal of the CLEO-c program is to provide precision…
We propose that the smallness of the light quark masses is related to the smallness of the T violation in hadronic weak interactions. Accordingly, for each of the two quark sectors ("upper" and "lower") we construct a 3\times 3 mass matrix…
We propose two simple models for the quark mass matrices which may be implemented through an S3 x Z2 symmetry in a supersymmetric context. Each model has eight parameters and, therefore, makes two independent predictions for the quark…
We consider a special class of dimension-six operators which are assumed to be induced by some new physics with typical scales of order \Lambda. This special class are the operators with two quarks which can mediate transitions between…
I review currently discussed methods to determine the CKM mixing matrix element $|V_{ub}|$ from experimental data. Although the theory of inclusive decays and their spectra has entered a model-independent stage, its predictions are still…
In the context of Fritzsch-like texture 4 zero Hermitian quark mass matrices, we have attempted to find an `exact' formula for sin2\beta wherein the dependence of \beta on the quark masses and the elements of the quark mass matrices is…
We reanalyze the mass matrices model of quarks and leptons which gives a unified description of quark and lepton mass matrices with the same texture form. By investigating possible types of the assignment for the texture's components of…
In this manuscript, a general FCNC-free and CP-violating pattern of quark-mass matrices in the 2HDM derived in our previous investigations is revised. This revised pattern is to be diagonalized analytically with no symmetries imposed. The…
Ordinary matter is described by six fundamental parameters: three couplings (gravitational, electromagnetic and strong) and three masses: the electron's (m_e) and those of the up (m_u) and down (m_d) quarks. An additional mass enters…
An approach is suggested for modeling quark and lepton masses and mixing in the context of grand unified theories that explains the curious fact that m_u ~ m_d even though m_t >> m_b. The structure of the quark mass matrices is such as to…
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…
In the contact interaction model, the quark propagator has only one solution, chiral symmetry breaking solution, at vanish temperature and density. Inspire by Y. Jiang and Z.-F. Cui, we introduce 2+1 flavors quark condensates feedback on…
In the quark sector, we experience a correlation between the mixing angles and the mass ratios. A partial realization of the similar tie-up in the neutrino sector helps to constrain the parametrization of masses and mixing, and hints for a…
A parameter-free analytic expression for the PMNS matrix is derived which fits numerically all the measured matrix components at 99.7$\%$ confidence. Results are proven within the microscopic model and include a prediction of the leptonic…
The quark and charged lepton masses and the angles and phase of the CKM mixing matrix are nicely reproduced in a model which assumes SU(3)xSU(3) flavour symmetry broken by the v.e.v.'s of fields in its bi-fundamental representation. The…
Unitarity triangles and characteristic measurables of the $3\times 3$ Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix are discussed. Beyond the $3\times 3$ CKM scheme we make a rephasing-invariant generalization of the Gronau-Wyler-Dunietz approach…
We propose a universal form for quark and lepton mass matrices, which applies in a ``leading order'' approximation where $CP$-violating phases are ignored. Down-quark mass ratios are successfully predicted in our scheme using the measured…
A physically viable ansatz for quark mass matrices must satisfy certain constraints, like the constraint imposed by CP-violation. In this article we study a concrete example, by looking at some generic matrices with a nearly democratic…
Apart from the qualitative features described in \cite{chm}, the renormalization group equation derived for the rotation of the fermion mass matrices are amenable to quantitative study. The equation depends on a coupling and a fudge factor…
In this manuscript, we present an explicit way to describe the violation of CP symmetry in the standard model (SM) of electroweak interactions. In such a way, complex Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrices are achieved which stand for the…
