Same‐sign top quarks as signature of light stops
/ Abstract
We present a new method to search for a light scalar top (stop), decaying dominantly cχ1−0, at the LHC. The principal idea is to exploit the Majorana nature of the gluino, leading to same‐sign top quarks in events of gluino pair production followed by gluino decays into top and stop. We demonstrate the reach of our method in terms of the gluino mass and the stop‐neutralino mass difference.
