Abstract
If Supersymmetry is to stabilise the Higgs boson mass, naturalness arguments suggest the mass of the scalar partner of the top quark (the stop) to be below around 1 TeV. The decay of the stop depends in part on the mass difference Δm=m˜t−m˜χ01 between the stop and the lightest neutralino, assumed to be stable. For Δm<mW+mb the process ˜t→c+˜χ01 may dominate. This contribution presents a summary of stop searches targeting this region of parameter space. Conducted using a newly developed tagger for the identification of charm quarks, and using 36.5 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions collected by the ATLAS detector at a centre-of-mass energy of √s=13 TeV, these searches significantly extend the exclusion limits in the (m˜χ01,m˜t) parameter space made by ATLAS during Run 1 of the LHC.
