If the lighter top squark has no kinematically allowed two-body decays that conserve flavor, then it will form hadronic bound states. This is required in models that are motivated by the supersymmetric little hierarchy problem and obtain the correct thermal relic abundance of dark matter by top-squark-mediated neutralino annihilations, or by top-squark-neutralino co-annihilations. It is also found in models that can accommodate electroweak-scale baryogenesis within minimal supersymmetry. I study the prospects for detecting scalar stoponium from its diphoton decay mode at the Large Hadron Collider, updating and correcting previous work. Under favorable circumstances, this signal will be observable over background, enabling a uniquely precise measurement of the superpartner masses through a narrow peak in the diphoton invariant mass spectrum, limited by statistics and electromagnetic calorimeter resolutions.
