Search for Top Squark Pair Production in the Dielectron Channel
D0 Collaboration, S. Abachi, et al
TL;DR
This paper reports the first search for top squark pair production in the dielectron channel using D0 data, setting upper limits on the process that inform future searches for supersymmetry.
Contribution
It introduces a novel search channel for top squark pairs and provides the first experimental limits in this specific decay mode.
Findings
No evidence of top squark production was observed.
The analysis sets a 95% confidence level upper limit on the production cross section.
The limits are above the theoretical predictions, indicating current data sensitivity.
Abstract
This report describes the first search for top squark pair production in the channel stop_1 stopbar_1 -> b bbar chargino_1 chargino_1 -> ee+jets+MEt using 74.9 +- 8.9 pb^-1 of data collected using the D0 detector. A 95% confidence level upper limit on sigma*B is presented. The limit is above the theoretical expectation for sigma*B for this process, but does show the sensitivity of the current D0 data set to a particular topology for new physics.
