This search uses 20.1 fb(-1) of pp collisions at root s = 8 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The lightest bottom and top squarks ((b) over tilde (1) and (t) over tilde (1) respectively) are searched for in a final state with large missing transverse momentum and two jets identified as originating from b-quarks. No excess of events above the expected level of Standard Model background is found. The results are used to set upper limits on the visible cross section for processes beyond the Standard Model. Exclusion limits at the 95{\%} confidence level on the masses of the third-generation squarks are derived in phenomenological supersymmetric R-parity-conserving models in which either the bottom or the top squark is the lightest squark. The (b) over tilde (1) is assumed to decay via (b) over tilde (1) -> b (chi) over tilde (0)(1) and the (t) over tilde (1) via (t) over tilde (1) b (chi) over tilde (+/-)(1), with undetectable products of the subsequent decay of the (chi) over tilde (+/-)(1) due to the small mass splitting between the (chi) over tilde (+/-)(1) and the (chi) over tilde (0)(1)", optnote="WOS:000326296900004", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1649), last updated on Thu, 05 Dec 2013 10:20:05 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP10(2013)189", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1308.2631", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP10(2013)189", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="arXiv:1308.2631", language="English" }
