Description
If the lighter stop eigenstate decays directly to two jets via baryonic R-parity violation, it could have escaped existing LHC and Tevatron searches, even for masses as small as 100~GeV. The traditional approach to such a direct RPV stop pair search is to identify a bump in the joint spectrum of dijet pairs in four-jet events. However, this style of search seems to be in a losing race. As luminosity rises, so too do multijet trigger thresholds, and the mass ranges of searches are being forced to slide upwards before exclusion-level sensitivity can be achieved. In order to recapture sensitivity to light RPV stops in the face of increasingly harsh trigger requirements, we propose a search for stop pairs in the highly-boosted regime, using the well-tested approaches of jet substructure.
