Top quark analysis in the light gluino scenario

The Fermilab top quark analysis is heavily dependent on the assumption of standard model backgrounds only. In the light gluino scenario, the top squarks lie near the top quark in mass and their decays can influence the resulting top quark mass by an amount that is not small, relative to the currently quoted errors. Several slight anomalies in the top quark analysis find a natural explanation in the light gluino case. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
