Abstract

We perform a detailed study of the decays of the heavier top and bottom squarks (stop2 and sbottom2) in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We show that the decays into Higgs or gauge bosons can be dominant in a wide range of the model parameters due to the large Yukawa couplings and mixings of stops and sbottoms. Compared to the conventional decays into fermions these bosonic decay modes can have significantly different decay structures and distributions. This could have an important impact on the search for stop2 and sbottom2 and the determination of the MSSM parameters at future colliders.
