Description

We examine a scenario where the new physics at the LHC includes an approximate conformal field theory, where some of the degrees of freedom (aka 'unparticles') carry a color charge. We present a simple argument showing that the production cross section for scalar unparticles mediated by a gauge interaction is given by 2-d times the standard particle expression, where d is the scaling dimension of the unparticle field. We explicitly check that this is indeed the case, which involves non trivial cancellations between different Feynman diagrams, for the process q q-bar → scalar unparticles
