Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to slepton pair production via vector-boson fusion

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 -> slepton+ slepton- +2jets at order alpha_s alpha^4 have been calculated and implemented in a NLO parton-level Monte Carlo program. Numerical results are presented for the CERN Large Hadron Collider.
