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® sg 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 b¢ and up-type quark t¢ have
been taken with due consideration of the constraint imposed by the present experimental
value of the r 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.
