SUMMARY:Soft gluon effects in the production of colored sparticles at the 
 LHC - Dr. Anna Kulesza (DESY)
DTSTART:20081104T150000Z

CONTACT:Deirdre Black
DESCRIPTION:The production of coloured supersymmetric particles is an impo
 rtant\nSUSY discovery channel at the LHC.  Therefore it is essential that\
 nthe theoretical predictions for squark and gluino production cross\nsecti
 ons are known with high accuracy.\nIn this talk I will focus on the effect
 s of soft gluon emission on\nthe total cross sections for squark-antisquar
 k and gluino-pair\nproduction. After a short review of the QCD resummation
  method\,\nused to systematically treat soft parts of higher order correct
 ions\,\nI will report its application to the hadronic sparticle production
 \nprocesses. Concluding\, I will discuss the size of the soft gluon\ncorre
 ctions and the reduction of the theoretical error related to\nthe scale de
 pendence.
