Towards model-independent exclusion of light Stops

2016 
Understanding the extent to which experimental searches are sensitive to Light Stops (LST) scenarios is essential to resolve questions about naturalness, electroweak baryo-genesis and Dark Matter. In this paper we characterize the reach on LST scenarios in two ways. We extend experimental searches to cover specific gaps in the LST parameter space, showing for the first time that assuming a single decay channel one can exclude the region of mt~excludes electroweak baryogenesis in MSSM. Also, we explore the extent to which searches are weakened in a more generic scenario when more than one decay channel takes place, even after their combination. This study highlights the need for a more comprehensive exploration of the LST parameter space.
