Flavor Mixing, Quark Masses, Neutrino Masses and Neutrino Oscillations

Understand

We discuss first the flavor mixing of the quarks, using the texture zero mass matrices.

• Then we study a similar model for the mass matrices of the leptons.
• We are able to relate the mass eigenvalues of the charged leptons and of the neutrinos to the mixing angles and can predict the masses of the neutrinos.
• We find a normal hierarchy - the masses are 0.004 eV, 0.01 eV and 0.05 eV.
