Georgi–Jarlskog mass relation
In grand unified theories of the SU(5) or SO(10) type, there is a mass relation predicted between the electron and the down quark, the muon and the strange quark and the tau lepton and the bottom quark called the Georgi–Jarlskog mass relations. The relations were formulated by Howard Georgi and Cecilia Jarlskog.[1]
At GUT scale, these are sometimes quoted as:
and sometimes as:
Symbol | Description | Renormalization scheme (point) |
Value |
---|---|---|---|
me | Electron mass | 511 keV | |
md | Down quark mass | μMS = 2 GeV | 4.4 MeV |
mu | Up quark mass | μMS = 2 GeV | 1.9 MeV |
mμ | Muon mass | 105.7 MeV | |
ms | Strange quark mass | μMS = 2 GeV | 87 MeV |
mc | Charm quark mass | μMS = mc | 1.32 GeV |
mτ | Tau mass | 1.78 GeV | |
mb | Bottom quark mass | μMS = mb | 4.24 GeV |
mt | Top quark mass | On-shell scheme | 172.7 GeV |
