Mass Matrix Models

Abstract

It is possible that the hierarchy in the masses and mixing of quarks is a result of a horizontal symmetry. The smallness of various parameters is related to their suppression by high powers of a scale of new physics. We analyze in detail the structure of such symmetries in view of new experimental data and present explicit models consistent with all phenomenological constraints. We show that it is possible that the flavor dynamics can be at accessible energies -- as low as a $TeV$.
