| dc.description | We reanalyse the problem of fermion masses in supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified models. In the minimal model, both low energy Higgs doublets belong to the same {\bf{10}} representation of SO(10) implying the unification not only of the gauge but also of the third generation Yukawa couplings. These models predict large values of $\tanβ\sim 50$. In this paper we study the effects of departing from the minimal conditions in order to see if we can find models with a reduced value of $\tanβ$. In order to maintain predictability, however, we try to do this with the addition of only one new parameter. We still assume that the fermion masses arise from interactions of the spinor representations with a single ${\bf 10}$ representation, but this ${\bf 10}$ now only contains a part of the two light Higgs doublets. This enables us to introduce one new parameter $ω=λ_b/λ_t$. For values of $ω\ll 1$ we can in principle reduce the value of $\tanβ$. In fact, $ω$ is an overall factor which multiplies the down quark and charged lepton Yukawa matrices. Thus the theory is still highly constrained. We show that the first generation quark masses and the CP-violation parameter $ε_K$ yield strong constraints on the phenomenologically allowed models. In the end, we find that large values of $\tanβ$ are still preferred. | |
