Description

The existence for three otherwise identical copies of the standard model fermions with widely disparate masses remains one of the great mysteries of modern particle physics. In this talk, I will introduce a framework, based on a continuous symmetry, for explaining the masses and mixings of the standard model fermions, with particular emphasis on neutrinos, and will discuss means by which this framework can be probed.
