Quark and lepton mass matrices with $A_4$ family symmetry

Abstract

Realistic quark masses and mixing angles are obtained applying the successful $A_4$ family symmetry for leptons, motivated by the quark-lepton assignments of SU(5). The $A_4$ symmetry is suitable to give tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing matrix which is consistent with current experimental data. We study new scenario for the quark sector with the $A_4$ symmetry.
