Soft gluon resummation for single leptoquark production at the LHC — •Fausto Frisenna, Anna Kulesza, and Daniel Schwartlaender — WWU, Institut für Theoretische Physik, Muenster, Germany

Leptoquarks provide one of the most promising explanations to the hints of lepton flavor non-universality in B decays. At the LHC, a single leptoquark can be directly produced together with a lepton in the final state. For TeV-scale leptoquarks, theoretical predictions can be improved by resumming large logarithmic corrections originating from soft gluon emissions. In this talk we discuss how to perform threshold resummation in Mellin space for single leptoquark production.
