Received 10 December 1996
This report describes the first search for top squark pair production in the channel t1t̃̅ 1→bb̅ χ̃1+χ̃1-→ee+jets+ET using 74.9±8.9 pb-1 of data collected using the DØ detector. A 95% confidence level upper limit on σ⋅B is presented. The limit is above the theoretical expectation for σ⋅B for this process, but does show the sensitivity of the current DØ data set to a particular topology for new physics.
