Description
The precision determination of scalar top quark properties will play an important
role at a future International Linear Collider (ILC). The scenario with small
expected visible energies, from almost mass degenerate stops and neutralinos, is
cosmologically motivated and experimentally particularly challenging. This scenario
has been investigated with an Iterative Discriminant Analysis (IDA) and first
results on the IDA performance are reported. The simulation is based on a fast and
realistic detector simulation. A vertex detector concept of the Linear Collider
Flavor Identification (LCFI) collaboration, which studies pixel detectors for heavy
quark flavour identification, is implemented in the simulations for c-quark tagging.
