Slepton Pair Production in the POWHEG BOX — Barbara Jäger, Andreas von Manteuffel, and •Stephan Thier — PRISMA Cluster of Excellence, Institute of Physics (THEP), Johannes Gutenberg University, 55099 Mainz, Germany

We present an implementation for slepton pair production at hadron colliders in the POWHEG BOX, a framework for combining next-to-leading order QCD calculations with parton-shower Monte-Carlo programs. Our code provides a SUSY Les Houches Accord interface for setting the supersymmetric input parameters. Decays of the sleptons and parton-shower effects are simulated with PYTHIA. Our Monte-Carlo program allows the generation of events, and thus of arbitrary distributions with appropriate selection cuts. Kinematic distributions of experimentally observable quantities are shown for a representative point in the supersymmetric parameter space.
