Abstract:
We present an ansatz for the quark and lepton mass matrices, derivable from SO(10) type GUTs, which accommodates a heavy (>92GeV)(> 92 GeV) top quark and permits large mixings in the νμντ\nu_\mu \leftrightarrow \nu_\tau sector (as suggested by the recent Kamiokande and IMB data on the atmospheric neutrinos). The well known asymptotic relations mb=mτm_b = m_\tau, ms=13mμm_s = \frac{1}{3} m_\mu and mdms=memμm_dm_s = m_e m_\mu all hold to a good approximation. Depending on νμντ\nu_\mu \leftrightarrow \nu_\tau mixing which can even be maximal, the mixing angle relevant for solar neutrino oscillation lies in the range 7.8×10 3<sin 22θeμ<2.1×10 27.8 \times 10~{-3} \stackrel{_<}{_\sim} \sin~2 2\theta_{e\mu} \stackrel{_<}{_\sim} 2.1 \times 10~{-2}. For the  71~{71}Ga experiment the event rate, normalized against the standard solar model prediction of 132 SNU, is estimated to be between 80 and 20 SNU.
