Abstract
A search for direct production of scalar bottom quarks () is performed with of data collected by the D0 experiment in collisions at at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The topology analyzed consists of two jets and an imbalance in transverse momentum due to undetected neutralinos (), with assumed to be the lightest supersymmetric particle. We find the data consistent with standard model expectations, and set a 95% C.L. exclusion domain in the (, ) mass plane, improving significantly upon the results from run I of the Tevatron.
