Remarks: 1. Unlike the leptons, quarks are confined in hadrons. Therefore, quark masses cannot be measured directly. They are indirectly determined from their influence on the properties of hadrons. 2. When talking about quark masses, one should keep in mind that they are defined in a specific theoretical framework, and thus scheme-dependent. For example, the constituent quark masses in the quark models.

Running Fermion Masses: above the EW scale Goal: running fermion masses m(μ) at the TeV scale, the seesaw scale and the GUT scale, both in the SM and in the MSSM (1) We adopt the seesaw model for neutrino masses, so neutrinos are assumed to be Majorana particles; (2) Above the EW scale, we define fermion masses as mf = yf v, where yf are the eigenvalues of Yukawa couplings and v is the vev; (3) We use two-loop RGEs for Yu, Yd, Yl, but one-loop RGE for effective neutrino coupling matrix κ. mq(mz) Yu & Yd Machack & Vaughn, 1984; Antusch et al., 2002, 2005; Mei & Xing, 2004; Mei, 2005 Gauge couplings Yl & κ θ12 = 33.8 deg θ23 = 45.0 deg θ13 ~ 0 δ=ρ=σ = 0 (A) m1 = 0.001 ev, m1 < m2 < m3 (B) m1 = 0.2 ev, m1< m2 < m3

Summary 1. The origin of fermion masses, the fermion mass hierarchy and flavor mixing patterns are still big puzzles in particle physics. New physics beyond the SM is expected so much. 2. The models for fermion masses are usually constructed at the high-energy scales, e.g. the TeV and GUT scales. The predictions should be confronted with experimental data. 3. Starting with the latest values given by PDG, we have evaluated the running quark and lepton masses at the EW, TeV, Seesaw, GUT scales, in the SM and MSSM.
