Light bottom squark phenomenology

Description

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 congruent with 2 to 5.5 GeV. Predictions are made for hadronic and radiative decays of the Upsilon states. In the limit of large tan 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
