Abstract
We examine the ability of LHC experiments to observe jets from squark pair production at the center-of-mass energy E=10 TeV and 1 fb of integrated luminosity. We point out the crucial influence of initial- and final-state radiation on the signal/background discriminating ability of different kinematic variables. The reliable measurements of missing transverse energy and stransverse mass would play a key role in picking out the signal against the background.
