Wolfgang Hollik, Monika Kollar, and Maike K. Trenkel
TL;DR
This paper calculates the complete next-to-leading order electroweak corrections to top-squark pair production at the LHC within the MSSM, including interference effects and photon-induced channels, providing more precise theoretical predictions.
Contribution
It provides the first comprehensive NLO electroweak correction calculation for top-squark pair production, including interference and photon-induced processes in the MSSM.
Findings
Electroweak corrections significantly affect production rates.
Photon-induced channels contribute notably to the cross section.
Interference effects alter the total production predictions.
Abstract
Presented are complete next-to-leading order electroweak (NLO EW) corrections to top-squark pair production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). At this order, also effects from the interference of EW and QCD contributions have to be taken into account. Moreover, photon-induced top-squark production is considered as an additional partonic channel, which arises from the non-zero photon density in the proton.
