was presented using the CMS detector at an integrated luminosity of 8 TeV. While the presence of the signal cannot be determined conclusively from the data, a limit was calculated based on the event yields and it was found that this signature cannot be present in the data set if $m_\mathrm{stop} <$ 780 GeV. For a summary of the event yields see section \ref{sect:results}. For a plot of the upper limits calculated from the event yields see figure \ref{fig:brazil}.  Comparing this minimum weight to the particles of the Standard Model, it would appear that the liklihood the supersymmetric top has an invariant mass > $>$  780 GeV is low. Thus these results provide more compelling reasons for theorists to look for other possible decays modes for the supersymmetric top which might contribute to a higher cross section. Also, these results show that given more data, we should be able to expect enough statistics to calculate a larger minimum value, pushing the possiblity of a decay mode of this branching ratio being supported by the data closer to zero. Therefore, it would be useful to perform this analysis again once the Large Hadron Collider reaches its maximum capacity in the coming years.\cite{Moskowitz_2014} \newline
