Running quark and lepton parameters at various scales

We calculate the values and 1 sigma ranges of the running quark and lepton Yukawa couplings as well as of the quark mixing parameters at various energy scales, i.e. at M_Z, 1 TeV, 3 TeV, 10 TeV and at the GUT scale, to provide useful input for model building. Above TeV energies, we assume the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, and include the tan(beta)-enhanced one-loop supersymmetric threshold corrections which arise when matching the SM to its SUSY extension. We calculate the GUT scale values of the running parameters as well as their 1 sigma ranges, with the supersymmetric threshold corrections included and with their effects parametrised in a simple way.
