Description

In the Chargino-/ Neutralinosector of the MSSM, the electroweak SUSY parameters can be determined by a small number of measurements of masses and cross sections. NLO corrections to these observables are in the percent regime, thereby matching the size of experimental fitting accuracies for joint LHC/ ILC analyses. We therefore include the NLO result for Chargino at the ILC production in the Monte Carlo Event Generator Whizard. In a fixed NLO approach, the event generation suffers from negatve event weights in certain points of parameter space. Therefore, we in addition present an alternative way to include photonic corrections which avoids negative weights by resumming leading logarithmic contributions from photon emission to all orders and automatically accounts for additional higher order contributions. This method is process-indepenent can be applied to the inclusion of any other 2->2 process at NLO. For Chargino pair-production, we present cross sections as well as differential event distributions for both methods.
