1.The Flavour Problem and See-Saw

The Flavour Problem 1. Why are there three families of quarks and leptons? Generations of matter Generations of matter III III tau -neutrino b bottom t top muon -neutrino s strange c charm e electron e e-neutrino Leptons d down up u Quarks Horizontal Vertical

3. Textures in a basis
29
Symmetric hierarchical matrices with 11 texture zero motivated by This motivates the symmetric down texture at GUT scale of form Hierarchical Symmetric Textures Gatto et al ¼ 0.2 is the Wolfenstein Parameter
30
Up quarks are more hierarchical than down quarks This suggests different expansion parameters for up and down Detailed fits require numerical (order unity) coefficients
31
Detailed fits at the GUT Scale Ross and Serna No SUSY thresholds
32
With SUSY thresholds Ross and Serna Georgi-Jarlskog
33
Final remarks on choice of basis We have considered a particular choice of quark texture in a particular basis But it is shown in the Appendix that all choices of quark mass matrices that lead to the same quark masses and mixing angles may be related to each other under a change of basis. For example all quark mass matrices are equivalent to the choice However this is only true in the Standard Model, and a given high energy theory of flavour will select a particular preferred basis. Also in the see-saw mechanism all choices of see-saw matrices are NOT equivalent.
