Abstract
Abstract Slepton pairs can be produced in vector–boson fusion processes at hadron colliders. The next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the electroweak production cross section for p p → l ˜ + l ˜ − + 2 jets at order α s α 4 have been calculated and implemented in an NLO parton-level Monte Carlo program. Numerical results are presented for the CERN large hadron collider.
Highlights
Among the primary goals of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are the discovery of the Higgs boson, shedding light on the yet unexplored mechanism of electroweak (EW) symmetry breaking, and the search for physics beyond the standard model
Within the area of Higgs boson studies, vector-boson fusion (VBF) processes have emerged as being highly promising for revealing information on the symmetry breaking sector [1]
A natural question is whether vector boson fusion is a useful tool for the study of other signals of new physics
Summary
Among the primary goals of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are the discovery of the Higgs boson, shedding light on the yet unexplored mechanism of electroweak (EW) symmetry breaking, and the search for physics beyond the standard model. The discrepancies between these previous results lead us to a recalculation of the slepton pair-production cross section in VBF.
