A new signal for scalar top bound state production

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We study the production and decay of a scalar \stst\ bound state \sigst\ at hadron supercolliders, where \st\ is the lighter stop eigenstate. If \st\ has no tree--level 2--body decays, the dominant decay modes of \sigst\ are gggg or, if mh<\mst\msttm_h < \mst \ll \mstt, a pair of light scalar Higgs bosons hh. Nevertheless the branching ratio into two photons is often large enough to yield a detectable signal.
