Scalar leptoquarks at the LHC and flavour anomalies: a comparison of pair-production modes at NLO-QCD
Scalar leptoquarks at the LHC and flavour anomalies: a comparison of pair-production modes at NLO-QCD
We analyse scalar leptoquark pair production at the LHC with predictions including $t$-channel lepton exchange contributions up to next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD. In particular, we calculate NLO-QCD predictions for off-diagonal production channels, {\it i.e.}\ channels that involve two different leptoquark eigenstates and are driven solely by diagrams involving Standard …
