Abstract:A search for the decay of top quarks that violate baryon number conservation is performed using pp collisions produced by the LHC at √ s = 8 TeV [1]. The top quark decay signature considered in this analysis consists of one light lepton (electron or muon), two jets, but no neutrino in the final state. Data collected by the CMS detector [2] and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 fb −1 are used for the analysis. The event selection is optimised for top quarks produced in pairs, with one having the… Show more
