Abstract
The production of pairs of charged Higgs bosons as predicted by the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) via the gluon fusion mechanism is investigated. The amplitudes at the leading one-loop order for the parton process $gg \to H^+H^-$ are calculated with the complete set of MSSM particles. Numerical results are presented for the cross section of the inclusive hadron process $p p \to gg \to H^+ H^- + X$ at the LHC.
