TOP-QUARK PHYSICS

“…Within the limited statistics of the samples, no significant deviations from the SM have yet been observed. Nonetheless, some intriguing features, such as large E / T and lepton p T , have been noticed in the dilepton samples (37). These could conceivably be attributed to SUSY production.…”

Top quark analysis in the light gluino scenario

“…Standard SUSY scenarios, such as that of squarks and gluinos in the 330 GeV region can, at best, [7] account for one or two of the anomalous top events. Recently, however, phenomenological hints have been noted suggesting squarks in the region below 200 GeV.…”

“…While emphasizing again that all of these "effects" could easily disappear with better statistics, it is interesting to consider the effect on the top analysis of specific models for supersymmetry (SUSY) in the top region. Standard SUSY scenarios, such as that of squarks and gluinos in the 330 GeV region can, at best, [7] account for one or two of the anomalous top events. Recently, however, phenomenological hints have been noted suggesting squarks in the region below 200 GeV.…”

Report of the Supersymmetry Theory Subgroup

“…The authors of Ref. [30] have shown that the match to event kinematics can be improved by hypothesizing a supersymmetry source for the recalcitrant events. The supersymmetry source is best matched by consideringqq pro-1 mended set of parameters is as follows [30]…”
