Higgs Boson Mass Bounds in the Standard and Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with Four Generations

We study the question of distinguishability of the Higgs sector between the standard model with four generations(SM4) and the minimal supersymmetric standard model with four generations (MSSM4). We find that a gap exists between the SM4 and MSSM4 Higgs boson masses for a range of the fourth generation fermion mass considered in the analysis at a fixed top quark mass. We also compare the Higgs boson mass bounds in these models with those in the standard and the minimal supersymmetric standard models.
