The pair production of squarks is one of the main search channels forsupersymmetry at the LHC. We present a fully differential calculation of thenext-to-leading order (NLO) SUSY-QCD corrections to the on-shell production ofa pair of squarks in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM),supplemented by the leading-order decay of the squarks to the lightestneutralino and a quark. In addition, we use the Powheg method to match our NLOcalculation with parton showers. To this end, the process was implemented inthe Powheg-Box framework and interfaced with Pythia6 and Herwig++. We study thedifferential scale dependence and K-factors, and investigate the effects of theparton showers for a benchmark scenario in the constrained MSSM.
