Description
New physics signals containing five or more $b$-tagged jets, but without missing $E_T$ or leptons, could realistically be sitting within the current 8 TeV LHC data set without receiving meaningful constraints from any of the existing LHC searches at either ATLAS or CMS. In this talk, several examples of simple, motivated models that yield final states containing many $b$-jets, and a specific study that can patch these holes in LHC coverage will be presented. In particular, the potential sensitivity of this study to a signal from MFV-motivated, $R$-parity violating natural SUSY, which gives rise to an eight-jet final state containing six $b$-quarks, will be discussed in detail.
