QCD corrections to single slepton production at hadron colliders

Abstract

We evaluate the cross section for single slepton production at hadron colliders in supersymmetric theories with R-parity violating interactions to the next-to-leading order in QCD. We obtain fully differential cross section by using the phase space slicing method. We also perform soft-gluon resummation to all order in ${\alpha }_s$ of leading logarithm to obtain a complete transverse momentum spectrum of the slepton. We find that the full transverse momentum spectrum is peaked at a few GeV, consistent with the early results for Drell-Yan production of lepton pairs. We also consider the contribution from gluon fusion via quark-triangle loop diagrams dominated by the $b$-quark loop. The cross section of this process is significantly smaller than that of the tree-level process induced by the initial $b\bar{b}$ annihilation.
