Description

Since the discovery of neutrino mass, the possibility of a fourth generation of particles has reemerged. Electroweak precision measurements force the fourth generation to have non-degenerate masses which is consistent with the three standard generations. We present the possibilities of detecting fourth generation top quark in several theories beyond the Standard Model, including warped extra dimensions and two Higgs doublet models.
