A new look at an old mass relation

  • 1. Unite de Physique Theorique et Mathematique, Universite Catholique de Louvain (Belgium)

Description

New data from neutrino oscillation experiments motivate us to extend a successful mass relation for the charged leptons to the other fundamental fermions. This new universal relation requires a Dirac mass around 3x10-2 eV for the lightest neutrino and rules out a maximal atmospheric mixing. It also suggests a specific decomposition of the CKM mixing matrix
