Squark–anti-squark pair production at the LHC: the electroweak contribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the complete NLO electroweak contribution of O(α s α) to the production of diagonal squark–anti-squark pairs in proton–proton collisions. Compared to the lowest-order O(αsα + α ) electroweak terms, the NLO contributions are also significant. We discuss the LO and NLO electroweak effects in cross sections and distributions at the LHC for the production of squarks different from top squarks, in various supersymmetric benchmark scenarios.

Electroweak corrections to squark–anti-squark pair production at the LHC
Presented are the complete NLO electroweak contributions to the production of diagonal squark–anti-squark pairs at the LHC. We discuss their effects for the production of squarks of the first two generations, in different SUSY scenarios.
متن کاملElectroweak Contributions to Squark Pair Production at the LHC
In this paper we compute electroweak contributions to the production of squark pairs at hadron colliders. These include the exchange of electroweak gauge bosons in the s−channel as well as electroweak gaugino exchange in the t− and/or u−channel. In many cases these can interfere with the dominant QCD contributions. As a result, we find sizable contributions to the production of two SU(2) double...

متن کاملRapidity Gap Events for Squark Pair Production at the LHC
The exchange of electroweak gauginos in the t− or u−channel allows squark pair production at hadron colliders without color exchange between the squarks. This can give rise to events where little or no energy is deposited in the detector between the squark decay products. We discuss the potential for detection of such rapidity gap events at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We present an analysi...
