| Abstract: |
CP invariance is a very attractive solution to the strong CP problem in QCD. This solution requires the vanishing phase of (det M_d det M_u) of the mass matrices for the down- and up-type quarks. It happens if we have several zeros in the quark mass matrices. We proceed a systematic construction of two zeros textures for the down-type quark mass matrix while the mass matrix for the up-type quarks is always diagonal. We find only three types of the mass matrices can explain the observed CKM matrix, the masses of the quarks and the charged leptons and the small enough vacuum angle. We extend the mass construction to the neutrino sector and derive predictions on the CP violating parameter in the neutrino oscillation and the mass parameter of neutrinoless double beta decay. It is extremely remarkable that the normal and inverted hierarchies in the neutrino masses are equally possible in the case where we introduce only two right-handed neutrinos. Furthermore, we have a strict prediction on delta_{CP} = 200^ο or 250^ο in the normal hierarchy case. If it is the case we can naturally explain the positive sign of the baryon asymmetry in the present universe. |
