Observed Quark Mixing Structure (CKM-Matrix) -- Perception of Mirror Generations

TL;DR

This paper proposes that the observed structure of the CKM matrix can be explained by the existence of heavy mirror quark generations, with implications for quark mass hierarchies and potential experimental detection below 1 TeV.

Contribution

It introduces a model linking quark mixing patterns to mirror generations with Lee--Yang type properties, providing a new perspective on quark mass hierarchies.

Findings

Reproduces CKM matrix structure from mirror generation hierarchies

Suggests lightest mirror quark could be detected below 1 TeV

Connects mirror quarks with neutrino see-saw mechanisms

Abstract

Parity nonconservation led Lee and Yang (1956) to the hypothesis of additional fermions with properties that mirror those of usual particles. It is shown here that the well-known observed qualitative structure of the quark mixing matrix (CKM matrix) is precisely reproduced when usual quark mass hierarchies result from mass hierarchies of heavy mirror generations. The last ones are of the Lee--Yang type only. The usual quark spectrum is formed likewise the see--saw spectrum of the neutrino physics. The lightest mirror quark is closely related with the t quark and might be available even in a region below 1 TeV.
