We perform a systematic study of flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNCs) in the 331 model with right-handed neutrinos (331RHNs), analyzing constraints on the $Z^\prime$ boson mass from $K$-, $D$-, $B_d$-, and $B_s$-meson oscillations. By…

We propose a phenomenological formula relating the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix $V_{KM}$ and quark masses in a form $(m_d,\ m_s,\ m_b)\propto (m_u,\ m_c,\ m_t)V_{KM}$. The formula agrees with experimental data well and has an interesting…

In the low energy domain, Chiral Perturbation Theory parametrizes the small chiral symmetry breaking effects, produced by the quark masses $m_u$, $m_d$ and $m_s$, in terms of order parameters of massless QCD. The latter can then, in…

A radiative model of quark and lepton masses utilizing the binary tetrahedral ($T^{\prime}$) flavor symmetry, or horizontal symmetry, is proposed which produces the first two generation of quark masses through their interactions with…

We argue that flavour mixing, both in the quark and charged lepton sector, is basically determined by the lightest family mass generation mechanism. So, in the chiral symmetry limit when the up and down quark masses vanish, all the quark…

We update the constraints on the parameters of the quark flavour mixing matrix $V_{CKM}$ in the standard model using the latest experimental and theoretical results as input. We present the 95$\%$ C.L. allowed region of the unitarity…

Recent works show that the original Kobayashi-Maskawa (KM) form of fermion mixing matrix exhibits some advantages, especially when discussing problems such as unitarity boomerangs and maximal CP violation hypothesis. Therefore, the KM form…

We study the interplay of flavor and dark matter phenomenology for models of flavored dark matter interacting with quarks. We allow an arbitrary flavor structure in the coupling of dark matter with quarks. This coupling is assumed to be the…

In the models with vector like quark doublets, the mass matrices of up and down type quarks are related. Precise diagonalization for the mass matrices became an obstacle in the numerical studies. In this work we propose a diagonalization…

We demonstrate that mass inequalities for hadrons with one or more heavy quarks arise primarily from the concavity of binding energies in the quark model, reflecting short-range Coulombic interactions and long-range confinement. Empirical…

We propose a realistic A4 extension of the Standard Model involving a particular quark-lepton mass relation, namely that the ratio of the third family mass to the geometric mean of the first and second family masses are equal for down-type…

Assigning U(1) charges to the quarks of the standard model, and allowing one extra scalar doublet with m^2 > 0, the correct pattern of the up and down quark mass matrices is obtained, together with their charged-current mixing matrix.

We simulate two variants of quenched twisted mass QCD (tmQCD), with degenerate Wilson quarks of masses equal to or heavier than half the strange quark mass. We use Ward identities in order to measure the twist angles of the theory and thus…

Precision tests of the Standard Model and searches for New Physics in the quark flavor sector depend on accurate theoretical calculations of decay rates and spectra for rare, flavor-changing processes. The theoretical status and recent…

Three-flavor lattice QCD simulations and two-loop perturbation theory are used to make the most precise determination to date of the strange-, up-, and down-quark masses, $m_s$, $m_u$, and $m_d$, respectively. Perturbative matching is…

The differential decay width of the process $\bar{B} \rightarrow \rho l \bar{\nu}$ is related to that of the process $\bar{B} \rightarrow K^* l \lbar$ by using $SU(3)$-flavor symmetry and the heavy quark symmetry. The ratio of the…

Three versions of the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model are applied to describe properties of nuclear matter and finite nuclei. The models differ in the treatment of the bag constant and in terms of nonlinear scalar self-interactions. As a…

The mass sensitivity of the chiral phase transition of QCD with and without axial $U_A(1)$-symmetry breaking at vanishing and finite quark chemical potential is investigated. To focus on the low-energy sector of QCD, a quark-meson model…

Lattice QCD calculations of hadronic matrix elements allow one to draw inferences about quark flavor interactions from measurements of hadron decays. Within the context of the Standard Model, the magnitude of the charm-bottom quark coupling…

We propose a new model-independent method, to determine the ratio $|V_{ub}/V_{cb}|$, which is theoretically described by the phase space factor and the well-known perturbative QCD correction only. We explore the possible experimental…
