Light Bottom Squark Phenomenology
Abstract
Agreement of theoretical calculations with the observed production rate of bottom quarks at hadron colliders is improved by the introduction of a contribution from pair-production of light gluinos, of mass 12 to 16 GeV, having two-body decays into bottom quarks and light bottom squarks with mass 2 to 5.5 GeV. Predictions are made for hadronic and radiative decays of the Upsilon states. In the limit of large β, the dominant decay mode of the light scalar Higgs boson is into a pair of light bottom squarks that materialize as jets of hadrons.
