Title: Phenomenological study of the atypical heavy flavor production observed at the Fermilab Tevatron

Journal Article · · Phys.Rev.D73:014025,2006
OSTI ID:879137

The authors address known discrepancies between the heavy flavor properties of jets produced at the Tevatron collider and the prediction of conventional-QCD simulations. In this study, they entertain the possibility that these effects are real and due to new physics. They show that all anomalies can be simultaneously fitted by postulating the additional pair production of light bottom squarks with a 100% semileptonic branching fraction.
