In my talk, I will present precision predictions for the production of scalar leptoquarks at the LHC, evaluated at next-to-leading order in QCD and improved by the resummation of soft-gluon radiation at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy. Apart from QCD contributions, included are the lepton $t$-channel exchange diagrams relevant in the light of the recent $B$-flavour anomalies. The...
We study the influence of theoretical systematic uncertainties due to the quark density on LHC experimental searches for Z'-bosons.
Using an approach originally proposed in the context of the ABMP16 PDF set for the high-x behaviour of the quark density, we presents results on differential cross section and Forward-Backward asymmetry observables commonly used to study Z' signals in dilepton channels.
In this talk, I discuss the scalar Leptoquark pair production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at next-to-leading order in QCD including contributions of diagrams involving the exchange of leptons in the $t$-channel. In this work, we discuss not only the so-called on-diagonal channels that involve same-mass eigenstates but also off-diagonal channels that include different mass eigenstates....
We discuss the sensitivity of theoretical predictions for observables used in searches for new physics to current knowledge, or lack thereof, of parton distribution functions (PDFs) at large momentum fractions. We specifically consider the neutral-current Drell-Yan production of gauge bosons with invariant masses in the TeV range. We study the forward-backward asymmetry of charged leptons from...
