Effects of the Fourth Generation on Delta M_{B_{d,s}} in B⁰-bar B⁰ Mixing

We investigate the mass differences $\Delta M_{B_{d,s}}$ in the mixing $B^0_{d,s}-\bar B^0_{d,s}$ with a new up-like quark $t^{\prime}$ in the sequential fourth generation model. We give the basic formulae for $\Delta M_{B_{d,s}}$ in this model and obtain two kinds of numerical results of $\Delta M_{B_{s}}$ which is the function of $m_{t^{\prime}}$. We find that one of our results can satisfy the present experimental low bound of $\Delta M_{B_s}$. We also get the constraints of the fourth generation CKM factor $V^{*}_{t^{'}b}V_{t^{'}d}$, which is the function of $t^{'}$, from the experimental measurements of $\Delta M_{B_d}$. Thus, $\Delta M_{B_{d,s}}$ provide a possible test of the fourth generation and give a signal of the new physics.
