Abstract
Considering the nonstandard indirect effect of Yukawa couplings of the Higgs doublet to the quarks, we examine strong-interaction effects in weak radiative B-meson decay. The virtual effects of the Model I and Model II in the penguin-type diagram on the b → sγ decay have been tested considering the possibility of the fourth generation in quark sector, with corrections up to the leading QCD logarithms, using evolution of the fourth-generation CKM matrix, with CP violation phase equal to zero. Range of the masses of the fourth-generation down-type quark b0 and up-type quark t 0 have been taken with due consideration of the constraint imposed by the present experimental value of the ρ parameter, keeping in view the mass difference of the fourth-generation quark doublet. As a by-product, it is observed that the CLEO bound clearly sets the lower bound on the Higgs boson mass at 220 GeV, which is above the top quark mass.
