Abstract

We report on a search for a supersymmetric

\tilde{B}

meson with mass between 3.5 and

4.5 GeV {/ c}^{2}

using

4.52 {fb}^{- 1}

of integrated luminosity produced at

\sqrt{s} = 10.52 GeV,

just below the

e^{+} e^{-} \to B \bar{B}

threshold, and collected with the CLEO detector. We find no evidence for a light scalar bottom quark.
