SUSY-QCD corrections in the squark-gluino sector

Abstract

A status report is given of the calculations of next-to-leading-order ($N=1$) supersymmetric QCD corrections to the production of squarks and gluinos in $p\bar{p}/pp$ collisions. The implementation of these SUSY-QCD corrections leads to more stable theoretical predictions and to a substantial increase of the production cross-sections. In addition we give a discussion of the use of the $\overline{MS}$ scheme for renormalizing the coupling constants in the QCD sector of ($N=1$) supersymmetric theories.
