- Abstract
- We report the results of a search for pair production of scalar bottom quarks ( b˜1 ) and scalar third-generation leptoquarks ( LQ3 ) in 5.2 fb −1 of pp¯ collisions at the D0 experiment of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Scalar bottom quarks are assumed to decay to a neutralino ( χ˜10 ) and a b quark, and we set 95% C.L. lower limits on their production in the ( mb˜1 , mχ˜10 ) mass plane such as mb˜1>247 GeV for mχ˜10=0 and mχ˜10>110 GeV for 160<mb˜1<200 GeV . The leptoquarks are assumed to decay to a tau neutrino and a b quark, and we set a 95% C.L. lower limit of 247 GeV on the mass of a charge-1/3 third-generation scalar leptoquark.
