Abstract

We study the decay b→sγ in the four-generation model including the effects of QCD corrections. We find the fourth-generation contributions to be quite significant, extending the range of allowed branching ratios, BR(b→sγ), to lie both above and below the three-generation standard model value. The existence of a fourth family of quarks would make a prediction for the top-quark mass difficult to obtain from this process.
