sbottom

plural sbottoms

1. natural sciencesThe squark that is the superpartner of a bottom quark.

   For neutralino masses below approximately 700 GeV, gluino masses of less than 1.78 TeV and 1.76 TeV are excluded at the 95% CL in simplified models of the pair production of gluinos decaying via sbottom and stop, respectively.
