Colored scalar particles production in $pp$-collisions and possible mass limits for scalar gluons from future LHC data

TL;DR

This paper calculates the production cross sections of colored scalar particles, especially scalar gluons, in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, estimating potential mass limits based on future data.

Contribution

It provides detailed calculations of production cross sections and discusses the detectability of scalar gluons with masses up to 1300 GeV at the LHC.

Findings

Scalar gluons with masses up to 1300 GeV can be effectively produced at the LHC.

Total and differential cross sections for scalar particle production are explicitly calculated.

Potential mass limits for scalar gluons are estimated based on production cross sections.

Abstract

Cross sections of the colored scalar particle production in $pp$-collisions are calculated and differential and total cross sections of the corresponding parton subprocesses are obtained. The total cross section of scalar gluon production in $pp$-collisions at the LHC is estimated and the dominant decays of scalar gluons are discussed. The production cross section of scalar gluons $F$ with masses $m_F\lesssim 1300$ GeV is shown to be sufficient for the effective production of these particles at the LHC.
