Scenario of light gluino and light sbottom and LEP predictions

The scenario of light gluinos of mass 12-16 GeV and light sbottoms of mass $2-5.5$ GeV was advocated to explain the discrepancy between the measured and theoretical production of $b$ quarks at the Tevatron. This scenario will have model-independent predictions for $Z\to q\bar q \tilde{g} \tilde{g}$...

Sumario:The scenario of light gluinos of mass 12-16 GeV and light sbottoms of mass $2-5.5$ GeV was advocated to explain the discrepancy between the measured and theoretical production of $b$ quarks at the Tevatron. This scenario will have model-independent predictions for $Z\to q\bar q \tilde{g} \tilde{g}$ at the $Z^0$-pole, and $e^+ e^- \to q\bar q \tilde{g} \tilde{g}$ at LEPII. We show that the data for $Z\to q \bar q g^* \to q\bar q b \bar b$ at LEPI cannot constrain the scenario, because the ratio $\Gamma(Z \to q\bar q \tilde{g} \tilde{g})/ \Gamma(Z \to q \bar q g^* \to q\bar q b \bar b) = 0.15 - 0.04$ for $m_{\tilde{g}}= 12-16$ GeV is smaller than the uncertainty of the data. However, at LEPII the ratio $\sigma(e^+ e^- \to q\bar q \tilde{g} \tilde{g})/ \sigma(e^+ e^- \to q \bar q g^* \to q\bar q b \bar b) \simeq 0.4 - 0.2$ for $m_{\tilde{g}}= 12-16$ GeV, which may give an observable excess in $q\bar q b\bar b$ events; especially, the $4b$ events.
