Precision predictions for scalar leptoquark pair production at the LHC

Understand

We present precision predictions for scalar leptoquark pair production at the LHC.

• Apart from QCD contributions, included are the lepton $t$-channel exchange diagrams relevant in the light of the recent $B$-flavour anomalies.
• All contributions are evaluated at next-to-leading order in QCD and improved by resummation, in the threshold regime, of the corrections from soft-gluon radiation at the next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy.
• All corrections are found equally relevant.
