Abstract
We report the result of a search for the pair production of the lightest supersymmetric partner of the top quark ((t) over tilde (1)) in p (p) over bar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb(-1). The scalar top quarks are assumed to decay into a b quark, a charged lepton, and a scalar neutrino ((nu) over bar). and the search is performed in the electron plus muon final state.
No significant excess of events above the standard model prediction is detected, and substantially improved exclusion limits at the 95% C.L. are set in the the (M((t) over tilde1), M((nu) over tilde) mass plane.
