CP violating phase and quark mixing angles from flavour permutational symmetry breaking

Abstract

The phase equivalence of the theoretical quark mixing matrix ${\bf V}^{th}$ derived from the breaking of the flavour permutational symmetry and the phenomenological parametrizations ${\bf V}^{PDG}$ and ${\bf V}^{KM}$ is explicitly exhibited. From here, we derive exact explicit expressions for the three mixing angles and the CP violating phase of the two phenomenological parametrizations in terms of the quark mass ratios $(m_{u}/m_{t}, m_{c}/m_{t}, m_{d}/m_{b}, m_{s}/m_{b})$ and the parameters $Z^{*1/2}$ and $Φ^*$ characterizing the preferred symmetry breaking pattern. The computed values for the CP violating phase and the mixing angles of the standard parametrization advocated by the Particle Data Group are $δ^*_{13}=73.2^\circ$, $\sinθ^*_{12}=0.222$, $\sinθ^*_{13}=0.0036$, and $\sinθ^*_{23}=0.040$. The computed values of the CP-violating phase and the mixing angles of the Kobayashi-Maskawa parametrization are $δ^*_{KM}=96.4^\circ$, $\sinθ^*_{1}=0.2225$, $\sinθ^*_{2}=0.0384$, and $\sinθ^*_{3}=0.0162$. In both cases, the numerical values of the mixing angles and CP-violating phase computed from quark masses and the flavour symmetry breaking parameters coincide almost exactly with the central values of the same parameters obtained from a fit to experimental data.
