Description

At hadron colliders, supersymmetric particles are expected to be produced abundantly in pairs via strong interactions. In this context, top-squark is of particular interest as a candidate on the lightest squark within many supersymmetric models. Given the expected experimental precision, detailed theoretical predictions are essential. We present the complete electroweak (EW) corrections to the top-squark pair production cross section within MSSM at LHC energies. We show that even though EW contributions are small for total cross sections, they become sizeable for differential cross section distributions with respect to transverse momentum, $p_T$, and invariant mass, $\sqrt{\hat{s}}$, of the top-squarks for high $p_T$ and high $\sqrt{\hat{s}}$ ranges.
