Should it not be “stop” or “top squark”? --[[User:Petermahlzahn|Petermahlzahn]] ([[User talk:Petermahlzahn|talk]]) 23:31, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

The literature is not consistent on this. "top squark" seems to be the most common in publications while "stop" is more common in speech and informal writing. However, "stop squark" is used in publications and is accurate. Changing the article name to "top squark" may be warranted based on word frequency

The hyphenation of "top-squark" vs "top squark" is also highly inconsistent in the literature ([https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMSPublic/PhysicsResultsSUS example]).

Also, links should be added at the bottom to connect it with the other squarks. Dgiraffes (talk) 06:36, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. It would be nice to add more phenomenology information. Perhaps in the first paragraph one could outline a more non-physicist idea of what it is, then in following paragraphs the actual properties in various SUSY models could be described as well as dominant decays or production methods.

This article needs sources as well as substantial expansion.--Jakebathman (talk) 08:29, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
