Search for Scalar Top Quark Production in p-pbar Collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV

Aaltonen, T.

Understand

We report on a search for the supersymmetric partner of the top quark (scalar top) decaying into a charm quark and a neutralino in p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV.

  • The data sample, collected by the CDFII detector at the Fermilab Tevatron, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.6 fb-1.
  • Candidate events are selected by requiring two or more jets and a large imbalance in the transverse momentum.
  • To enhance the analysis sensitivity, at least one of the jets is required to be identified as originating from a charm quark using an algorithm specifically designed for this analysis.
