Updated Values of Running Quark and Lepton Masses

Abstract

Reliable values of quark and lepton masses are important for model building at a fundamental energy scale, such as the Fermi scale MZ ≈ 91.2 GeV and the would-be GUT scale GUT 2 × 1016 GeV. Using the latest data given by the Particle Data Group, we update the running quark and charged-lepton masses at a number of interesting energy scales below and above MZ. In particular, we take into account the possible new physics scale (μ 1 TeV) to be explored by the LHC and the typical seesaw scales (μ 109 GeV and μ 1012 GeV) which might be relevant to the generation of neutrino masses. For illustration, the running masses of three light Majorana neutrinos are also calculated. Our up-to-date table of running fermion masses are expected to be very useful for the study of flavor dynamics at various energy scales.
