A very light scalar top (stop) superpartner is motivated by naturalness and electroweak baryogenesis. When the mass of the stop is less than the sum of the masses of the top quark and the lightest neutralino superpartner, as well as the of…
We investigate the decays of the light stop in scenarios with the lightest neutralino $\tilde{\chi}_1^0$ being the lightest supersymmetric particle, including flavour-violating (FV) effects. We analyse the region where the three-body decay…
We investigate the prospect of stop squark search at Tevatron RUN-II in mSUGRA motivated as well as unconstrained supersymmetric models, when the lighter stop squark turns out to be the next lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP). In this…
We present a search for flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) in decays of top quarks. The analysis is based on a search for $t\bar{t}\rightarrow\ell'\nu\ell\bar{\ell}$+jets ($\ell, \ell' = e,\mu$) final states using 4.1 {\rm fb}$^{-1}$…
If the stop is the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) and the mass difference to the neutralino is smaller than the top mass, it can decay via flavour-violating decay modes to $c\tilde{\chi}^0_1/u\tilde{\chi}^0_1$ or a…
A light stop with mass almost degenerate with the lightest neutralino has important connections with both naturalness and dark matter relic abundance. This region is also very hard to probe at colliders. In this paper, we demonstrate the…
In supersymmetry (SUSY) the flavor mixing between top-squark (stop) and charm-squark (scharm) induces the flavor-changing neutral-current (FCNC) stop decay $\tilde t_1 \to c \tilde \chi^0_1$. Searching for this decay serves as a probe of…

We report a search for the flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) decay of the top quark \tZq ($q=u,c$) in \ppbar collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96\tev$ using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.9\invfb collected by…
The LHC searches for light compressed stop squarks have resulted in considerable bounds in the case where the stop decays to a neutralino and a charm quark. However, in the case where the stop decays to a neutralino, a bottom quark and two…
Flavour Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) decays are forbidden at lowest perturbative order in the Standard Model (SM) and only allowed via quantum loops. These transitions are therefore heavily suppressed in the SM, and New Physics (NP) can…
A search for flavor-changing neutral currents in top-quark decays t to Zq is performed in events produced from the decay chain t t-bar to Zq + Wb, where both vector bosons decay leptonically, producing a final state with three leptons…

The flavor changing neutral current decays $t\to c X$ ($X=\gamma,\,g,\, Z,\, H$) and $t\to c\bar \ell\ell $ ($\ell=\mu,\,\tau$) are studied in a renormalizable scalar leptoquark (LQ) model with no proton decay, where a scalar $SU(2)$…
We discuss the Flavor-Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) decays of the top quark t -> c Vi Vj (Vi=gamma, Z, g) in the framework of the Standard Model (SM) and in a two-higgs doublet model (2HDM) with tree-level FCNC couplings. While in the SM…
