Flavor mixing of quarks and a new texture

Harald Fritzsch

Open full text 4 citations

Abstract

The flavor mixing of the quarks is described by the CKM matrix, which is parametrized by three mixing angles and one phase parameter. We discuss a new texture for the two mass matrices of the six quarks. The three flavor mixing angles can be calculated — they are functions of the ratios of the quark masses. The third mixing angle is given by the CKM matrix element [Formula: see text]. We find: [Formula: see text]. The calculated mixing angles agree with the mixing angles, measured in many experiments.
