  We propose a new search strategy for directly-produced sbottoms at the LHC
with a small mass splitting between the sbottom and its decayed stable
neutralino. Our search strategy is based on boosting sbottoms through an
energetic initial state radiation jet. In the final state, we require a large
missing transverse energy and one or two b-jets besides the initial state
radiation jet. We also define a few kinematic variables to further increase the
discovery reach. For the case that the sbottom mainly decays into the bottom
quark and the stable neutralino, we have found that even for a mass splitting
as small as 10 GeV sbottoms with masses up to around 400 GeV can be excluded at
the 95% confidence level with 20 inverse femtobarn data at the 8 TeV LHC.
