We report on a search for a supersymmetric partner of the
bottom quark produced from gluino decays in data from 2.5 fb-1 of
integrated luminosity collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab
at s**(1/2) ñ.96 TeV. Candidate events are selected requiring two or
more jets and large missing transverse energy. At least two of the
jets are required to be tagged as originating from a b quark to enhance
the sensitivity. The results are in good agreement with the prediction
of the standard model processes, giving no evidence for gluino decay to
sbottom quarks. This result constrains the gluino-pair-production cross
section to be less than 40 fb at 95% credibility level for a gluino mass
of 350 GeV/c2.
