  Searches for supersymmetric top quarks at the LHC have been making great
progress in pushing sensitivity out to higher mass, but are famously plagued by
gaps in coverage around lower-mass regions where the decay phase space is
closing off. Within the common stop-NLSP / neutralino-LSP simplified model, the
line in the mass plane where there is just enough phase space to produce an
on-shell top quark remains almost completely unconstrained. Here, we show that
is possible to define searches capable of probing a large patch of this
difficult region, with S/B ~ 1 and significances often well beyond 5 sigma. The
basic strategy is to leverage the large energy gain of LHC Run 2, leading to a
sizable population of stop pair events recoiling against a hard jet. The recoil
not only re-establishes a MET signature, but also leads to a distinctive
anti-correlation between the MET and the recoil jet transverse vectors when the
stops decay all-hadronically. Accounting for jet combinatorics, backgrounds,
and imperfections in MET measurements, we estimate that Run 2 will already
start to close the gap in exclusion sensitivity with the first few 10s of
inverse-fb. By 300/fb, exclusion sensitivity may extend from stop masses of 550
GeV on the high side down to below 200 GeV on the low side, approaching the
"stealth" point at m(stop) = m(top) and potentially overlapping with limits
from top pair cross section and spin correlation measurements.
