Abstract

The experiments at LHC have shown that the SUSY (exotic) bound states are likely to form bound states in an entirely similar fashion as ordinary quarks form bound states, i.e., quarkonium. Also, the interaction between two squarks is due to gluon exchange which is found to be very similar to that interaction between two ordinary quarks. This motivates us to solve the Schr\"{o}dinger equation with a strictly phenomenological static quark-antiquark potential: $V(r)=-Ar^{-1}+\kappa \sqrt{r}+V_{0}$ using the shifted large $N$-expansion method to calculate the low-lying spectrum of a heavy quark with anti-sbottom\textbf{\}$(c\bar{\widetilde{b}},b% \bar{\widetilde{b}})$ and sbottom with anti-sbottom $(\widetilde{b}% \bar{\widetilde{b}})$ bound states with $m_{\widetilde{b}}$ is set free. To have a full knowledge on spectrum, we also give the result for a heavier as well as for lighter sbottom masses. As a test for the reliability of these calculations, we fix the parameters of this potential by fitting the spin-triplet $(n^{3}S_{1})$ and center-of-gravity $l\neq 0$ experimental spectrum of the ordinary heavy quarkonia $c\bar{c},c\bar{b}$ and $b% \bar{b}$ to few $\mathrm{MeV.}$ Our results are compared with other models to gauge the reliability of these predictions and point out differences.
