Phenomenological study of the atypical heavy flavor production observed at the Fermilab Tevatron

TL;DR

This paper investigates anomalies in heavy flavor jet production at Fermilab Tevatron, proposing that new physics involving light bottom squark pair production with high semileptonic decay could explain the observed discrepancies.

Contribution

It introduces a phenomenological model suggesting light bottom squark pair production as a potential explanation for Tevatron heavy flavor anomalies.

Findings

All anomalies can be fitted by bottom squark pair production model.

The proposed model aligns with observed heavy flavor properties.

Suggests new physics involving light bottom squarks may be responsible.

Abstract

We address known discrepancies between the heavy flavor properties of jets produced at the Tevatron collider and the prediction of conventional-QCD simulations. In this study, we entertain the possibility that these effects are real and due to new physics. We show that all anomalies can be simultaneously fitted by postulating the additional pair production of light bottom squarks with a 100% semileptonic branching fraction.
