Top-Quark Mass Data and the Sum of Quasi-Degenerate Neutrino Masses (One small electroweak-bound e-parameter organizes elementary particle 3-flavor phenomenology)

TL;DR

This paper explores a flavor pattern linking neutrino, electron, and top-quark masses, proposing a universal small parameter that explains mass ratios and estimates the sum of quasi-degenerate neutrino masses consistent with cosmological data.

Contribution

It introduces a flavor pattern model using a small universal parameter to relate elementary particle masses and estimates the sum of neutrino masses.

Findings

Estimated sum of quasi-degenerate neutrino masses: 0.50 eV

Relations between neutrino, electron, and top-quark mass ratios derived

Model aligns with cosmological constraints and experimental neutrino data

Abstract

The absolute neutrino masses and type of neutrino mass hierarchy are among the main problems in neutrino physics. Top-quark mass is another topical problem in particle physics. These problems extend the old puzzle of electron-muon mass ratio close to the fine structure constant, which is still not solved by known theory. Here I continue the search for a general flavor pattern that may incorporate these problems. Relations between neutrino/electron and electron/top-quark pole mass ratios are obtained from supposition that realistic elementary particle dimensionless bare flavor quantities are small deviated (measured by universal parameter e) from the values of a stated flavor pattern (at e=0) and experimental data hints. With the world average t-quark mass data the sum of QD-neutrino masses is estimated (0.50 +- 0.003)eV in agreement with cosmological constraints and known QD-neutrino mass estimations from experimental data on neutrino oscillation mass-squared differences.
