Unitarity triangle angles explained: a predictive new quark mass matrix texture
摘要
We propose a novel quark mass matrix texture-pair with five free parameters, which fits the four quark mass ratios ms/mb, md/mb, mc/mt, mu/mt, and the four CKM quark mixing observables. The matrices each have one texture zero, but the main innovation here is a “geometric” ansatz exploiting a pair of small complex expansion parameters, based on the geometry of the Unitarity Triangle. The fit to the observables is in good agreement with current experimental values renormalised to ~ 104 TeV, and offers decisive tests against future high-precision measurements of the unitarity triangle angles at the weak scale. We identify two novel symmetries of these mass matrices which explain the phenomenologically-successful relations α ≡ ϕ2 ≃
