A scenario for generating the fermionic mass spectrum and its predictions

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

All observed regularities and irregularities of the fermionic mass spectrum follow naturally from a universal two-level GUT scenario. Calculability requires relative orthogonality of the inter-family tree-level contributions and the radiative inner-family ones. This predicts the yet unobserved masses and mixings of the quarks and leptons. In particular, the masses and large mixings of the neutrinos can account for the missing solar neutrinos in terms of vacuum oscillations. A CP violation at GUT energies, induces the observed weak CP violation inK-decay, via radiative corrections.
