Supersymmetry is such a theory that proposes an extension to spacetime which allows for a symmetry relating the two groups of fundamental particles: fermions and bosons. Associated with this extension is a quantum number $R_p$ defined as
$R_p \begin{equation}
R_p = (-1)^{(3B + L +
2S)}$ 2S)}
\end{equation}
where S, B, and L, are the spin, baryon, and lepton quantum numbers of the particle [LEP].

This paper describes a search for such a decay of the form:
$\widetilde{t}\overline{\widetilde{t}} \begin{equation}
\widetilde{t}\overline{\widetilde{t}} \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu ^- b
\overline{b}$ \overline{b}
\end{equation}
Since the signature of this decay resembles that of many common Standard Model vertices, various data-based background estimation techniques were implemented in conjunction with Monte Carlo simulations to obtain a number of expected events. For a detailed description of these techniques see section \ref{sect:eventSelection}.
