Production of Pairs of Sleptoquarks in Hadron Colliders

Abstract

We calculate the cross section for the production of pairs of scalar leptoquarks (sleptoquarks) in a supersymmetric $E_6$ model, at hadron colliders. We estimate higher order corrections by including ${\pi }^2$ terms induced by soft-gluon corrections. Discovery bounds on the sleptoquark mass are estimated at collider energies of 1.8, 2, and 4 TeV (Tevatron), and 16 TeV (LHC).
