Abstract

Theoretical predictions for the production cross sections of leptoquarks at the CERN LHC are presented including higher-order QCD corrections. These corrections reduce the dependence on the renormalization/factorization scales significantly. Moreover, they are required to exploit the leptoquark mass reach of the LHC experiments. In this sequel to an earlier analysis performed for the Tevatron collider we extend the leptoquark analysis to the LHC energy.
