To cover a range of mass differences between the top squark (t) over tilde and lighter supersymmetric particles, four possible decay modes of the top squark are targeted with dedicated selections: the decay (t) over tilde -> b (chi) over tilde (+/-)(1) into a b-quark and the lightest chargino with (chi) over tilde (+/-)(1) W (chi) over tilde (0)(1),the decay (t) over tilde -> t (chi) over tilde (0)(1) into an on-shell top quark and the lightest neutralino, the three-body decay (t) over tilde -> bW (chi) over tilde (0)(1) and the four-body decay (t) over tilde -> bl nu(chi) over tilde (0)(1). No significant excess of events is observed above the Standard Model background for any selection, and limits on top squarks are set as a function of the (t) over tilde and (chi) over tilde (0)(1) masses. The results exclude at 95{\%} confidence level (t) over tilde masses up to about 720 GeV, extending the exclusion region of supersymmetric parameter space covered by previous searches.", optnote="WOS:000418591100004", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3445), last updated on Fri, 12 Jan 2018 09:16:29 +0000", issn="1434-6044", doi="10.1140/epjc/s10052-017-5445-x", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1708.03247", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-017-5445-x", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1708.03247", language="English" }
