Search for third generation squarks at the LHC (status of light stop and sbottom searches)

We present results of searches of the ATLAS and CMS experiments for third generation squark production in the context of supersymmetry. In many scenarios of supersymmetry the superpartners of the bottom and top quark are the lightest squarks. These particles could therefore be the first sparticles observed at the LHC. The ATLAS and CMS experiments have a wide variety of searches sensitive to third generation squark production that have been conducted with 2011 data sets. Their results are interpreted in simplified models where limits on different production and decay channels of stop and sbottom quarks have been set.
