FLAVOR MIXING, QUARK MASSES, NEUTRINO MASSES AND NEUTRINO OSCILLATIONS

We study a model for the mass matrices of the quarks and leptons. Two of the three flavor mixing angles of the quarks can be calculated in terms of the quark mass ratios. They agree very well with the experiments. We are able to relate the mass eigen values of the charged leptons and of the neutrinos to the mixing angles and can predict the masses of the neutrinos. We find a normal hierarchy -the masses are 0.004 eV, 0.01 eV and 0.05 eV. The atmospheric mixing angle is given by the mass ratios of the charged leptons and the neutrinos. We find 38 degrees, consistent with the experiments. The mixing element, connecting the first neutrino with the electron, is found to be 0.05.
