We investigate threshold resummation effects in the production of a color
sextet (antitriplet) scalar at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) order
at the LHC in the frame of soft-collinear effective theory. We show the total
cross section and the rapidity distribution with NLO+NNLL accuracy, and we
compare them with the NLO results. Besides, we use recent dijet data at the LHC
to give the constraints on the couplings between the colored scalars and
quarks.Comment: 21 pages,9 figures,3 tables; Version published in EPJ
