Within the standard model with the 4th generation quarks b{sup '} and t{sup '} we have analyzed CP-violating flavor changing neutral current processes t{yields}cX, b{sup '}{yields}sX, b{sup '}{yields}bX, t{sup '}{yields}cX, and t{sup '}{yields}tX, with X=H,Z,{gamma},g, by constructing and employing a global, unique fit for the 4th generation mass mixing matrix (CKM4) at 300{<=}m{sub t{sup '}}{<=}700 GeV. All quantities appearing in the CKM4 were subject to our fitting procedure. We have found that our fit produces the following CP partial rate asymmetry dominance: a{sub CP}(b{sup '}{yields}s(H,Z;{gamma},g)){approx_equal}(94,62;47,41)%, at m{sub t{sup '}}{approx_equal}300,350 GeV, respectively. From the experimental point of view the best decay mode, out of the above four, is certainly b{sup '}{yields}s{gamma}, due to the presence of the high energy single photon in the final state. We have also obtained relatively large asymmetry a{sub CP}(t{yields}cg){approx_equal}(8-18)% for t{sup '} running in the loops. There are fair chances that the 4th generation quarks will be discovered at LHC and that some of their decay rates will be measured. If b{sup '} and t{sup '} exist at energies we assumed, with well executed tagging, large a{sub CP} could be found too.
