Simulation of Sextet Diquark Production

TL;DR

This paper introduces a Monte Carlo simulation method for sextet diquark production and decay at the LHC, including QCD radiation, resonant and pair production, with comparisons to recent experimental limits.

Contribution

It presents the first comprehensive simulation framework for sextet diquark production, incorporating both resonant and pair production mechanisms with QCD radiation effects.

Findings

Simulation results align with recent ATLAS limits on resonant diquark production.

First study of pair production mechanisms for sextet diquarks.

Provides a new tool for future experimental searches at the LHC.

Abstract

We present a method for simulating the production and decay of particles in the sextet representation of $SU(3)_C$ including the simulation of QCD radiation. First results from the Monte Carlo simulation of sextet diquark production at the LHC including both resonant and pair production are presented. We include limits on resonant diquark production from recent ATLAS results and perform the first simulation studies of the less model dependent pair production mechanism.
