  The spectral projectors method is a way to obtain a theoretically well posed
definition of the topological susceptibility on the lattice. Up to now this
method has been defined and applied only to Wilson fermions. The goal of this
work is to extend the method to staggered fermions, giving a definition for the
staggered topological susceptibility and testing it in the pure $SU(3)$ gauge
theory. Besides, we also generalize the method to higher-order cumulants of the
topological charge distribution.
