Threshold Effects in Slepton Pair Production at the LHC
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a study of threshold resummation effects for slepton pair production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). After confirming the known NLO QCD corrections and generalizing the NLO SUSY-QCD corrections to the case of mixing squarks in the virtual loop contributions, we employ the Mellin N -space resummation formalism to compute logarithmically enhanced soft-gluon terms to all perturbative orders.

Transverse-Momentum Resummation for Slepton-Pair Production at the LHC
We perform a first precision calculation of the transverse-momentum (qT ) distribution of slepton pair and slepton-sneutrino associated production at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We implement soft-gluon resummation at the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) level and consistently match the obtained result to the pure fixed-order perturbative result at leading order (LO) in the QCD coupli...
متن کاملMeasuring slepton spin at the LHC
A new method is presented for measuring the spin of selectrons and smuons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), using an angular variable which is sensitive to the polar angle in direct slepton pair production. This variable, cos θ ll, is invariant under boosts along the beam axis, so it can be used at the LHC despite the fact that the longitudinal boost of the centre-of-mass frame cannot be dete...
متن کاملDetecting sleptons at hadron colliders and supercolliders.
We study the prospects for detecting the sleptons of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model at hadron colliders and supercolliders. We use ISAJET 7.03 to simulate charged slepton and sneutrino pair production, incorporating slepton and sneutrino cascade decays into our analysis. We find that even with an accumulation of ∼ 1fb of integrated luminosity, it will be very difficult to detect slep...
متن کاملTransverse-momentum, threshold and joint resummations for slepton pair production at hadron colliders
We present precision calculations of the transverse-momentum spectrum and the invariant-mass distribution for slepton pair production at hadron colliders. We implement the transverse-momentum, threshold and joint resummation formalisms at the next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy and consistently match the obtained result with the pure perturbative result at the first order in the strong couplin...
