In an R-parity nonconserving supersymmetric theory, the lighter stop can dominantly decay into $b\mu$ and $b\tau$ if R-parity breaking has to explain the neutrino mass and mixing pattern suggested by the data on atmospheric muon neutrinos.…
We discuss the decays of the lightest scalar top quark $\tilde{t}_1$ in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model and show that the final state $b\tau \nu_\tau \chi_1^0$, where $\chi_1^0$ is the lightest supersymmetric…
In this report a new search for a narrow-width heavy resonance decaying into top quark pairs (X -> ttbar) in ppbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV has been performed using data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider.…
A supersymmetric model with four generations is proposed, in which the top quark is approximately degenerate in mass with the $W^{\pm}$ gauge boson, $m_t\simeq m_W$, leading to values of $R_b$ in better agreement with the present…
We study the most promising signals of Constrained Minimal Supersymmetry detectable at a luminosity upgraded 2 TeV Fermilab Tevatron collider. Using a full event-level Monte Carlo based on Pythia/Jetset, we simulate the trilepton signal…
We report on a search for the supersymmetric partner of the top quark (stop) produced in $t \bar{t}$ events using $110 {\rm pb}^{-1}$ of $p \bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.8 {\rm TeV}$ recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab.…
Almost two decades after its discovery at Fermilab's Tevatron collider experiments, the top quark is still under the spotlight due to its connections to some of the most interesting puzzles in the Standard Model. The Tevatron has been shut…
The Fermilab top quark analysis is heavily dependent on the assumption of standard model backgrounds only. In the light gluino scenario, the stop quarks lie near the top in mass and their decays can influence the resulting top quark mass by…
The results of a search for top squark (stop) pair production in final states with one isolated lepton, jets, and missing transverse momentum are reported. The analysis is performed with proton--proton collision data at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV…
The top quark is the most recently discovered of the standard model quarks, and because of its very large mass, studies of the top quark and its interactions are important both as tests of the standard model and as searches for new physical…
So far the squarks have not been detected at the LHC indicating that they are heavier than a few hundred GeVs, if they exist. The lighter stop can be considerably lighter than the other squarks. We study the possibility that a…
We report results of a search for the pair production of the lightest supersymmetric partner of the top quark using 1 fb-1 of data collected by the D0 detector at a ppbar center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider.…
Searches for supersymmetry in the framework of R-parity conserving models have been performed in data collected by the D0 detector at the Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ collider at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. Topologies analyzed consist of…
We study the viability of having two relatively light top squarks (`stops') in the framework of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM). Such light stops render the NMSSM rather `natural'. These are shown to be allowed by…

The scalar partner of the top quark (the stop) is relatively light in many models of supersymmetry breaking. We study the production of stops at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and their subsequent decays through baryon-number violating…
We have performed a search for scalar top quark (stop) pair production in the inclusive electron-muon-missing transverse energy final state, using a sample of $p \bar{p}$ events corresponding to 108.3 pb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the…
The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model opens the possibility of electroweak baryogenesis provided that the light scalar top quark (stop) is lighter than the top quark. In addition, the lightest neutralino is an ideal candidate to explain…
We consider the recent measurement of the top quark forward-backward asymmetry at the Fermilab Tevatron, which shows a discrepancy of slightly more than 2$\sigma$ compared to the SM prediction. We find that $t$-channel exchange of a color…
