Abstract

Using the ATLAS 4.7 fb1fb^{-1} data on new physics search in the jets + \met\met channel, we obtain new limits on the lighter top squark (t~1\tilde t_1) considering all its decay modes assuming that it is the next to lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP). If the decay \lstop\lstop \rac\lspone\ra c \lspone dominates and the production of dark matter relic density is due to NLSP - LSP co-annihilation then the lower limit on \mlstop\mlstop is 240 GeV. The limit changes to 200 GeV if the decay \lstop\lstop \rabW\lspone\ra b W \lspone dominates. Combining these results it follows that \lstop\lstop NLSP induced baryogenesis is now constrained more tightly.
