In this work we present limits on a sequential down-type quark, b', based on the most recent DELPHI data. Using all available experimental data for m_b' > 96 GeV we conclude that a sequential four generations model is far from being…
Recent results from the DELPHI collaboration led us to review the present bounds on the b' quark mass. We use all available experimental data for m_b' > 96 GeV to constrain the b' quark mass as a function of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa…
The existing bounds from CDF on the masses of the fourth generation quarks, t' and b', are reexamined. The bound of 256 GeV on the t' mass assumes that the primary decay of the t' is into q+W, which is not the case for a substantial region…
Present limits on chiral fourth-generation quark masses $m_{b'}$ and $m_{t'}$ are broadly generalized and strengthened by combining both $t'$ and $b'$ decays and considering the full range of $t'$ and $b'$ flavor-mixing scenarios (with the…
Heavy quarks, namely, the top and bottom quarks, may show great sensitiveness to new physics effects. In particular, they might have unusually large electric dipole moments. This possibility is analyzed via the corresponding one-loop…
This study investigates the influence of the fourth generation quarks on the double lepton polarizations in \Lambda_b --> \Lambda \ell^+ \ell^- decay by taking |V^\ast_{t's}V_{t'b}|= 0.005,0.01,0.02,0.03 with phase…
Using the experimental result on b\to s\gamma and theoretical result on b\to sg, a four -generation SM is analysed to constrain the rephasing-invariant combinations of the CKM matrix and masses of the fourth generation quarks.
We show that the existence of a possible fourth heavy generation of quarks gives rise to a significant enhancement to the neutron electric dipole moment in comparison with the Standard Model prediction. The smaller degree of suppression in…
Precise measurements of Z-boson parameters and W-boson and t-quark masses put strong constraints on non SU(2) * U(1) singlet New Physics. We demonstrate that one extra generation passes electroweak constraints even when all new particle…
We investigate the influence of the fourth generation quarks on the branching ratio and the CP-asymmetry in B -->\pi \ell^+ \ell^- decay. Taking the |V_{t'd}V_{t'b}| ~ 0.001 with phase about 10 degree, which is consistent with the…
We investigate the direct and indirect bounds on dipole operators involving the top quark. A careful analysis shows that the experimental upper limit on the neutron electric dipole moment strongly constrains the chromo-electric dipole of…
We determine the masses of the sequential fourth generation quarks $b'$ and $t'$ in the extension of the Standard Model by solving the dispersion relations associated with the mixing between the neutral states $Q\bar q$ and $\bar Qq$, $Q$…
We study the decays of heavy chiral (t', b') quarks in a four-generation extension of the Standard Model. If the difference between the t' and b' masses is smaller than the W mass, as favored by precision electroweak measurements, then the…
We investigate the $\epsilon^{\prime} /\epsilon$ for $K\to \pi\pi$ in a sequential fourth generation model. By giving the basic formulae for $\epsilon^{\prime}/\epsilon$ in this model, we analyze the numerical results which are dependent of…
A fourth generation of quarks, if it exist, may provide sufficient CP violation for the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We estimate the neutron electric dipole moment in the presence of a fourth generation, and find it would be dominated…
We investigate the influence of the fourth generation of quarks on the branching ratio, the CP-asymmetry and the polarization asymmetries in $B \rar \rho \ell^+ \ell^-$ decay. Taking $|V_{t'd}V_{t'b}|\sim 0.001$ with phase about $10^\circ$,…
We review our works on the sequential fourth generation model and focus on the constriants of $4\times 4$ quark mixing matrix elements. We investigate the quark mixing matrix elements from the rare $K,B$ meson decays. We talk about the $…
We present a search for a massive quark (t') decaying to Wq and thus mimicking the top quark decay signature in data collected by the CDF II detector corresponding to 2.8 fb^-1. We use the reconstructed mass of the t' quark and the scalar…
A search for the pair production of fourth generation b'-quarks was performed using data taken by the DELPHI detector at LEP-II. The analysed data were collected at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 196 to 209 GeV, corresponding to an…
