  Kinematic edges in the invariant mass distributions of different final state
particles are typically a signal of new physics. In this work we propose a
scenario wherein these edges could be utilised in discriminating between
different classes of models. To this effect, we consider the resonant
production of a heavy Higgs like resonance (H 1 ) as a case study. Such states
are a characteristic feature of many new physics scenarios beyond the Standard
Model (SM). In the event of a discovery, it is essential to identify the true
nature of the underlying theory. In this work we propose a channel, $H_1
\rightarrow t_2 t$, where t_2 is a vector-like gauge singlet top-partner that
decays into W b, Zt, ht. Invariant mass distributions constructed out of these
final states are characterized by the presence of kinematic edges, which are
unique to the topology under consideration. Further, since all the final state
particles are SM states, the position in the edges of these invariant mass
distributions can be used to exclusively determine the masses of the
resonances. Observation of these features are meant to serve as a trigger,
thereby mandating a more detailed analysis in a particular direction of
parameter space. The absence of these edge like features, in the specific
invariant mass distributions considered here, in minimal versions of
supersymmetric models (MSSM) also serves as a harbinger of such non MSSM-like
scenarios.
