Search for Gluino-Mediated Sbottom Production in p-pbar Collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV

Understand

We report on a search for the supersymmetric partner of the bottom quark produced from gluino decays in data from 2.5 fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV.

• Candidate events are selected requiring two or more jets and large missing transverse energy.
• At least two of the jets are required to be tagged as originating from a b quark to enhance the sensitivity.
• The results are in good agreement with the prediction of the standard model processes, giving no evidence for gluino decay to sbottom quarks.
