Project description

After the triumph of the Higgs boson discovery in the 2010-2012 LHC running period, the searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model are now the highest priority of the LHC experiments. In large classes of new physics scenarios (scalar) partners of the heaviest known particle, the top quark, play an important role. A dedicated experimental search for such scalar partners with the CMS detector at the LHC is proposed.
