Top quark jets as a probe of the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model with a degenerate top squark and lightest supersymmetric particle.

The degenerate top squark next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) and neutralino (LSP) scenario is well motivated but hard to detect in the collider experiments. We propose a novel signature for detection of this scenario at the Large Hadron Collider and demonstrate its feasibility. In the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model and top squark NLSP, gluinos are in general much heavier than the lighter top squark and, thus, it decays dominantly to high transverse momentum (p(T)) top-quark-top-squark pairs.
