Fermion mass and mixing patterns from a rotating mass matrix
Abstract
It is shown 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 the two phenomena being both consequences of a mass matrix rotating in generation space with changing energy scale. As a result, the rotation of the mass matrix can be traced over some 14 orders of magnitude in energy from the mass scale of the -quark at 175 GeV to below that of the atmospheric neutrino at 0.05 eV. This is a summary of recent work done in collaboration with Chan Hong-Mo and Jose Bordes.
