Abstract
We present search results based on next-to-leading order predictions for the pair production of color-adjoint leptons at the LHC. Quantum effects are sizable, dominated by pure QCD corrections, and sensitive to threshold effects. We illustrate the stabilization of scale dependences and confirm an excellent agreement between fixed-order and multi-jet predictions for representative distributions. Finally, we examine the trademark collider signatures of leptogluon pairs. Based on the CMS leptoquark search we derive a mass bound of 1.2-1.3 TeV for charged leptogluons, significantly improving the constraints available in the literature.
