Sbottoms of natural NMSSM at the LHC

Search for the bottom squarks (sbottoms) at the large hadron collider (lhc) has recently assumed a heightened focus in the hunt for supersymmetry (susy). the popular framework of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (nmssm) could conceive a naturally light sbottom which can easily be consistent with available constraints from the experiments at the lhc. phenomenology of such sbottoms could in principle be as striking as that for a light top squark (stop) thanks to a rather nontrivial neutralino sector (with appreciable mixing among the neutral higgsinos and the singlino) that the scenario gives rise to. nonetheless, finding such sbottoms would require a moderately large volume of data (∼300 fb−1) at the 13 tev run of the lhc. a multi-channel analysis establishing a generic depletion of events in the usual 2b-jets + t final state while registering, in conjunction, characteristically significant rates in various multi-lepton final states accompanied by b-jets might point not only to the presence of light sbottom(s) but could also shed crucial light on their compositions and the (singlino) nature of the lightest susy particle (lsp).
