Spin Asymmetries in Squark and Gluino Production at Polarized Hadron Colliders
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the production cross sections for squarks and gluinos in collision of longitudinally polarized hadrons. The corresponding polarized partonic cross sections are computed in leading order supersymmetric QCD. The resulting asymmetries are evaluated for the polarized proton collider RHIC, as well as for hypothetical polarized options of the Tevatron and the LHC. These asymmetries turn out to be sizable over a wide range of supersymmetric particle masses. Once supersymmetric particles are discovered in unpolarized collisions, a measurement of the spin asymmetries would thus potentially help to establish the properties of the newly discovered particles and open a window to detailed sparticle spectroscopy at future polarized hadron colliders.

Squark and gluino production at the LHC
In this talk I report on recent results for resummed total cross sections in squark and gluino hadroproduction. In the limit of production threshold, the emission of soft gluons results in the appearence of large logarithmic corrections in the theoretical expressions. These corrections are resummed at next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy and their effect on the predictions for squark and gluino...
متن کاملQCD Corrections to Double and Single Spin Asymmetries in Vector Boson Production at Polarized Hadron Colliders
The production of W and Z0 bosons in collisions of longitudinally polarized protons allows to access various combinations of the polarized quark distributions from the study of double and single spin asymmetries. We compute the O(αs) corrections to these asymmetries as function of the vector boson rapidity y in the hadron–hadron centre-of-mass frame. Detailed studies of the numerical impact of ...
متن کاملSquark and Gluino Production at Hadron Colliders
We have determined the theoretical predictions for the cross-sections of squark and gluino production at pp̄ and pp colliders (Tevatron and LHC) in next-to-leading order of supersymmetric QCD. By reducing the dependence on the renormalization/factorization scale considerably, the theoretically predicted values for the cross-sections are much more stable if these higher-order corrections are impl...
متن کاملPolarized Drell-Yan Process
The results of a recent calculation of the QCD corrections to the longitudinally polarized Drell-Yan process are summarized. In addition to the parity conserving double spin asymmetry which is already accessible in the Drell-Yan production of lepton pairs at fixed target energies, we consider parity violating single spin asymmetries appearing only in the production of massive vector bosons at p...
متن کاملNon-Diagonal and Mixed Squark Production at Hadron Colliders
Abstract We calculate squared helicity amplitudes for non-diagonal and mixed squark pair production at hadron colliders, taking into account not only loop-induced QCD diagrams, but also previously unconsidered electroweak channels, which turn out to be dominant. Mixing effects are included for both top and bottom squarks. Numerical results are presented for several SUSY benchmark scenarios at b...
