Search for direct pair production of the top squark in all-hadronic final states in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector

The results of a search for direct pair production of the scalar partner to the top quark using an integrated luminosity of 20.1 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at √s = 8 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC are reported. The top squark is assumed to decay via <math xmlns="ht...
