Supersymmetric particle production at hadron colliders

Abstract

The theoretical status of MSSM particle production at the hadron colliders Tevatron and LHC is reviewed, including next-to-leading order supersymmetric QCD corrections. The higher-order corrections significantly reduce the theoretical uncertainty and lead to a rise of the lower bounds on supersymmetric particle masses, as demonstrated for the case of top-squark and gaugino pair production at the Tevatron.
