EW NLO corrections to pair production of top-squarks at the LHC
Abstract
Presented are complete electroweak (EW) corrections at O(αα s 2) to top-squark pair production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) within the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). At this order, effects from the interference of EW and QCD contributions have to be taken into account. Also photon-induced top-squark production is considered as additionnal partonic channel which arises from the non-zero photon density in the proton. Furthermore, the impact of MSSM parameters on the EW corrections is analyzed.
