Abstract
We analyze the production of a single top squark at hadron colliders: ppbar/pp -> \tilde{t}_1 + X. The total cross sections and the transverse momentum distributions are presented in next-to-leading order QCD. The higher-order corrections render the predictions theoretically stable with respect to variations of the factorization and renormalization scales. The transverse momentum distribution is resummed to estimate effects of the small transverse momentum regime on possible analyses. Since the corrections increase the cross sections and reduce the theoretical uncertainty, the discovery range for these particles is extended in the refined analysis.
