Abstract
We study the production and decay of a scalar (t1t1) bound state sigm a(t)1 at hadron supercolliders, where t1 is the lighter scalar top eig enstate. If t1 has no tree-level 2-body decays, the dominant decay mod es of sigma(t)1 are gg or, if m(h) < m(t)1 << m(t)2, a pair of light s calar Higgs bosons h. Nevertheless, the branching ratio into two photo ns is often large enough to yield a detectable signal.
