Abstract
In light of recent experimental results, we present updated bounds on the lightest Higgs boson mass in the Standard Model (SM) and in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM). The vacuum stability lower bound on the SM Higgs boson mass lies above the MSSM lightest Higgs boson mass upper bound for a large amount of SUSY parameter space. We postulate a fourth generation of fermions to see how the area of inconsistency changes, and discover that the MSSM is salvagable if a fourth generation is added to the MSSM (MSSM4).
