Book excerpt: We present the results of a search for pair production of the supersymmetric partner of the top quark (the stop quark ≈1) decaying to a b-quark and a chargino {tilde {chi}}1{sup {+-}} with a subsequent {tilde {chi}}1{sup {+-}} decay into a neutralino {tilde {chi}}1°, lepton l, and neutrino [nu]. Using a data sample corresponding to 2.7 fb−1 of integrated luminosity of p{bar p} collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV collected by the CDF II detector, we reconstruct the mass of candidate stop events and fit the observed mass spectrum to a combination of standard model processes and stop quark signal. We find no evidence for {tilde t}1{bar {tilde t}}1 production and set 95% C.L. limits on the masses of the stop quark and the neutralino for several values of the chargino mass and the branching ratio [Beta]({tilde {chi}}1{sup {+-}} → {tilde {chi}}1°l{sup {+-}}[nu]).
