  A search is presented for supersymmetry in all-hadronic events with missing
transverse momentum and tagged top quarks. The data sample was collected by the
CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.3
inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13
TeV. Search regions are defined using the properties of reconstructed jets, the
multiplicity of bottom and top quark candidates, and an imbalance in transverse
momentum. With no statistically significant excess of events observed beyond
the expected contributions from the standard model, we set exclusion limits at
95% confidence level on the masses of new particles in the context of
simplified models of direct and gluino-mediated top squark production. For
direct top squark production with decays to a top quark and a neutralino, top
squark masses up to 740 GeV and neutralino masses up to 240 GeV are excluded.
Gluino masses up to 1550 GeV and neutralino masses up to 900 GeV are excluded
for a gluino-mediated production case, where each of the pair-produced gluinos
decays to a top-antitop quark pair and a neutralino.
