Description

We study the production and decay of a scalar (t1t1*) bound state σt1 at hadron supercolliders, where t1 is the lighter scalar top eigenstate. If t1 has no tree-level 2-body decays, the dominant decay modes of σt1 are gg or, if mh<mti much-lt mt2, a pair of light scalar Higgs bosons h. Nevertheless, the branching ratio into two photons is often large enough to yield a detectable signal
