Abstract

We have attempted to extend the parameter space of the elements of the texture four-zero Hermitian quark mass matrices, to include the case of ‘weak hierarchy’ amongst them along with the usually considered ‘strong hierarchy’ case. This has been carried out by giving wide variation to the hierarchy defining parameters DU and DD, having implications for the structural features of the mass matrices. We find that not only are the weakly hierarchical mass matrices able to reproduce the strongly hierarchical mixing angles but also both the phases, having their origin in the mass matrices, have to be non-zero to achieve compatibility of these matrices with recent quark mixing data. Further noting the difference between the exclusive and inclusive values of Vub, we have carried out separate analyses corresponding to these.
