  Scalar color octets are generic signals for new physics at LHC energies. We
examine their pair production at the LHC to next-to-leading order QCD. This
computation serves as another test of the fully automized MadGolem framework.
We find large NLO production rates and sizeable quantum effects which depend on
the sgluon mass. The shift in the sgluon distributions is mild and in good
agreement with a multi-jet merging calculation.
