Description
The production of coloured supersymmetric particles is an important
SUSY discovery channel at the LHC. Therefore it is essential to know
the theoretical predictions for squark and gluino production cross
sections with high accuracy. Higher order QCD corrections
are dominated by the emission of soft gluons from initial and final
state particles. The effects of soft gluon emission can be treated
systematically to all orders by means of resummation techniques.
In this talk I report on the calculation of the resummed cross sections
for squark- and gluino-production processes in hadronic collisions
and present the currently most precise predictions for these cross
sections at the LHC.
