Soft gluon resummation for associated squark-electroweakino production at the LHC

Abstract

We perform a threshold resummation calculation for the associated production of squarks and electroweakinos at the LHC to the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy. Analytical results for the process-dependent soft anomalous dimension and the hard matching coefficient are presented. The resummed results are matched to fixed-order predictions at next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD, which are generalised to scenarios with non-universal squark masses and mixings. Numerically, the NLL contributions increase the total NLO cross section by 2%2\% to 6%6\% for squark masses ranging from 1 TeV to 3 TeV, respectively, and they reduce the dependence of the predictions on the factorisation and renormalisation scales from typically ±10%\pm10\% to below ±5%\pm5\%. Our NLO and NLO+NLL calculations have been implemented in the publicly available program Resummino.
