摘要
The lighter superpartner of the top quark (t1) may be considerably lighter than squarks of the first two generations, and hence may be accessible to Fermilab Tevatron collider searches, even if the other squarks and the gluino are too heavy. For the range of m(t1) of interest at the Tevatron, the t1 decays to a chargino via t1 --> bW1 if this is kinematically allowed; otherwise, the flavor-changing loop decay t1 --> cZ1 dominates. In the latter case, t1 production is signaled by jet(s) plus is-not-an-element-of(T) events. If, instead, the chargino decay is allowed, 1l + b jets + is-not-an-element-of(T) and l+l'- +jet(s) + is-not-an-element-of(T) events from leptonic decays of W1 provide the most promising signals. We perform detailed simulations for each of these signals using ISAJET 7.07 and devise cuts to enable the extraction of each of these signals above standard model backgrounds from vector boson or top quark production. With an integrated luminosity of 100 pb-1, experiments should be able to probe top squark masses up to approximately 100 GeV in each of these channels; the detection of the signal in the single lepton channel, however, requires reasonable capability to tag displaced b decay vertices in the central region.
