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 pp̅ collisions at the D0 experiment of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Scalar bottom quarks are assumed to decay to a neutralino (χ˜01) and a b quark, and we set 95% C.L. lower limits on their production in the (ℳ1, ℳχ˜01) mass plane such as ℳ1247 GeV for ℳχ˜01>110 GeV for 160<ℳ˜1200 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.
