We demonstrate the applicability by providing state-of-the-art predictions for the production of charginos and neutralinos at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the next-to-leading order in the phenomenological MSSM-19 and explicitly demonstrate the performance for pp ->(chi) over tilde (+)(1)(chi) over tilde (-)(1), (chi) over tilde (0)(2)(chi) over tilde (0)(2) and (chi) over tilde (0)(2)(chi) over tilde (+/-)(1) as a proof of concept which will be extended to all SUSY electroweak pairs. We obtain errors that are lower than the uncertainty from scale and parton distribution functions with mean absolute percentage errors of well below 0.5{\%} allowing a safe inference at the next-to-leading order with inference times that improve the Monte Carlo integration procedures that have been available so far by a factor of O(10(7)) from O(min) to O(mu s) per evaluation.", optnote="WOS:000513271500001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=4279), last updated on Fri, 28 Feb 2020 15:54:58 +0000", issn="1434-6044", doi="10.1140/epjc/s10052-019-7562-1", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.08312", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-019-7562-1", language="English" }
