Abstract
This work presents the interpretation of the ATLAS search of same-sign lepton production in association with b-jets in the context of the 4-top quark signal from sgluon decays. It is shown that using just 3.2/fb data sample from Run 2 collected in 2015 the exclusion limit is already competitive with the Run 1 limit. This data makes it possible to exclude sgluons with masses up to 0.95 TeV. Prospects for the total Run 2 integrated luminosity of 100/fb are briefly discussed.
