Hunting for Mixed Stop Decays at the LHC
Michael Graesser,
LANL,
Searching for top squarks at the LHC is a top priority. I will present a new decay channel and a new kinematic variable ("topness") that increases the sensitivity of the 8 TeV LHC searches for top squarks. Projections for the 14 TeV run will also be presented. Our topness variable was recently used in ATLAS 8 TeV stop searches.
