We estimate soft-gluon corrections generated by π2 terms in the production of pairs of scalar leptoquarks in hadron collisions. These particles appear naturally in a superstring inspred E6 model and can be produced through quark–antiquark annihilation and gluon fusion with or without Yukawa interactions.

The top-seesaw assisted technicolor (TC) model, which was proposed recently to accommodate the 126 GeV Higgs mass discovered by the Large Hadron Colliders (LHC), predicts light and heavy charged Higgs bosons in addition to the neutral Higgses. In this paper, we will study the pair productions of the charged Higgs, proceeding through gluon–gluon fusion and quark–antiquark annihilation, at the LHC in the frame of the top-seesaw assisted TC model. We find that in a large part of parameter space the production cross-sections of the light charged Higgs pair at the LHC can be quite large compared with the low standard model backgrounds, while it is impossible for the pair production of the heavy ones to be detected with the strong final mass suppression. Therefore, the light charged Higgs pair production may be served as a probe of this new TC model at the LHC.

AbstractPrompt double-$$J/\psi $$J/ψ production at high-energy hadron colliders can be considered as a golden channel to probe double parton scatterings (DPS)—in particular to study gluon–gluon correlations inside the proton—and, at the same time, to measure the distribution of linearly-polarised gluons inside the proton. Such studies, however, require a good control of both single parton scatterings (SPS) and DPS in the respective regions where they are carried out. In this context, we have critically examined two mechanisms of SPS that may be kinematically enhanced where DPS are thought to be dominant, even though they are either at higher orders in the strong-coupling or velocity expansion. First, we have considered a gauge-invariant and infrared-safe subset of the loop-induced contribution via colour-singlet (CS) transitions. We have found it to become the leading CS SPS contributions at large rapidity separation, yet too small to account for the data without invoking the presence of DPS yields. Second, we have surveyed the possible colour-octet (CO) contributions using both old and up-to-date non-perturbative long-distance matrix elements (LDMEs). We have found that the pure CO yields crucially depend on the LDMEs. Among all the LDMEs we used, only two result into a visible modification of the NRQCD (CS+CO) yield, but only in two kinematical distributions measured by ATLAS, those of the rapidity separation and of the pair invariant mass. These modifications, however, do not impact the control region used for their DPS study.
