Abstract
The long B lifetime is related to the heaviness of the top quark by a particular mass-mixing ansatz. The u-type quark mass matrix is of the Fritzsch form, while for the d type it is diagonal except in the d-s plane, which generates the Cabibbo rotation. We predict ≳200 GeV from ≲0.06. One gets ‘‘maximal CP violation,’’ and the relations ‖/‖= √/ , ‖/‖= √/ , and ‖‖=‖‖ are close to exact. An interesting Wolfenstein pattern emerges. We discuss the viability and implications of having such a heavy top quark (such as lower ), and the possibility of a vanishing and its impact on CP violation.
