STUDY OF SCALAR TOP QUARKS AT A FUTURE e⁺e⁻ LINEAR COLLIDER — •André Sopczak¹, Reino Keränen¹, Mikael Berggren², and Hanna Nowak³ — ¹Universität Karlsruhe — ²LPNHE, Université de Paris VI & VII — ³DESY - Zeuthen

The scalar top discovery potential has been studied with a full-statistics background simulation for √s=500 GeV and L=500 fb⁻¹. The simulation is based on a fast and realistic simulation of a TESLA detector. The large simulated data sample allowed the application of an Iterative Discriminant Analysis (IDA) which led to a significantly higher sensitivity than in previous studies. The effects of beam polarization on signal efficiency and individual background channels are studied using separate optimization with the IDA for both polarization states. The beam polarization is very important to measure the scalar top mixing angle and to determine its mass. Simulating a 180 GeV scalar top at minimum production cross section, we obtain Δ m=1 GeV and Δ cosθ_t = 0.009.
