We study the production and decay of a scalar (t̃1t̃1*) bound state σt̃1 at hadron supercolliders, where t̃1 is the lighter scalar top eigenstate. If t̃1 has no tree-level 2-body decays, the dominant decay modes of σt̃1 are gg or, if mh<mt̃imt̃2, a pair of light scalar Higgs bosons h. Nevertheless, the branching ratio into two photons is often large enough to yield a detectable signal.
