NLO-NLL wino-like chargino-neutralino (N2C1) cross sections

The following cross sections are for pure wino-like chargino-neutralino pair production (sum of χ̃⁺₁χ̃⁰₂ and χ̃^-₁χ̃⁰₂, and also for each subprocess individually). They have been calculated for sqrt(s) = 13 TeV at NLO-NLL using the resummino code from B. Fuks et al with CTEQ6.6 and MSTW2008nlo90cl PDFs. The calculation assumes the chargino and neutralino are degenerate, with mass denoted below as m_χ̃. Final numbers are calculated using the PDF4LHC recommendations for the two sets of cross sections.

When using these cross sections, please cite the following two references, available below in bibtex format:

Should the analyzer need the cross-section information for a mass value that is not tabulated below, s/he can obtain it using the ROOT macros provided under:

/afs/cern.ch/user/a/amete/public/EWKGauginoCrossSections_13TeV

For this specific grid one needs to do:

root -l 'get_gaugino.C("C1N2","wino",mass)'
