Abstract

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle detector that is being used to search for supersymmetric particles. The top quark is one of the most important particles in the search for Supersymmetry, and it and its supersymmetric partner, the stop particle, are highly sought after at CMS, as the stop particle is predicted to be the lightest of the supersymmetric particles and thus the easiest to find at the 7 TeV LHC. The T1bbbb signal was studied using data collected at CMS, and based on results will either be included in the overall search or will be used to eliminate from consideration any events of the sort. Two signal points were studied, one with a low delta m and one with a high delta m with regards to the gluino and neutralino produced. For both, cuts were applied on leptonic tracks, and on measured quantities such as missing ET, HT, and MTB, to remove mis-tagged events.
