SUMMARY:Stop\, hammer time! Using novel tools to nail down the top squ
 ark after Run 2\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Dr. Dani
 el Spitzbart\, Boston University
DESCRIPTION:Top squarks ("stops")\, the superpartners of top quarks\, 
 could be a key to answer questions about the nature of the Higgs boson
  mass and shed light on the origin of dark matter. Predicted to have a
  mass that is accessible at the LHC themselves they are a prime target
  in searches for supersymmetry.<br>
\nNew analysis techniques were ins
 pired and facilitated by the large available data set from Run 2 of th
 e LHC\, leading to unprecedented sensitivity to top squarks with masse
 s up to 1.3 TeV.<br>
\nI will present novel methods based on machine l
 earning and elaborate algorithms\, and show the latest results from th
 ese searches. By combining a comprehensive set of individual analysis 
 channels we are able to further tighten these constraints\, leading to
  results that will set a legacy for years to come.<br>
