Supersymmetric QCD corrections to top quark production inpp¯collisions

Abstract
The supersymmetric QCD corrections to top quark pair production by qq¯ annihilation in pp¯ collisions are calculated in the minimal supersymmetric model. We present the analytic expressions of the corrections to the total tt¯ production cross section at the Fermilab Tevatron. The numerical results show that the corrections can enhance the cross section by ∼10% for favorable parameter values.
