Abstract

SUSY events in which a light stop decays to a chargino may manage to pass the cuts designed for top counting experiments at the Tevatron with no significant diminution of signal. Events in which a top decays via stop are detected with fair efficiency compared to SM top events when \stop\intob\wino\stop\into b\wino. More importantly, direct pair production of light stops contributes significantly to the cut samples. Many SUSY models with stops lighter than 100 GeV are viable even for Γ(t\into\stop)Γ(t\intobW)\Gamma(t\into\stop) \approx \Gamma(t\into bW).
