Minimal Weak Basis Textures and Quark Mixing Data

Abstract

The phenomenology of most general quark mass matrices with minimum of three texture zeros obtained through weak basis (WB) transformations has been discussed within the framework of the standard Model (SM). The relationship of textures, naturalness and weak basis transformations has also been studied. Adopting a 'hierarchical' parametrization for the quark mass matrix, we have detailed exact relations for the various elements of the quark mixing matrix along with the CP asymmetry angle β illustrating the explicit relationship between the observed hierarchies among the WB quark mass matrices and the quark mixing matrix. Besides exploring the complete parameter space available to the (Mq)11, (q = u, d) elements in these mass matrices, their implications for quark mixing data and CP violation asymmetries have also been explored.
