Measuring Double Parton Distributions in Nucleons at Proton-Nucleus Colliders
We predict a strong enhancement of multijet production in proton-nucleus
collisions at collider energies, as compared to a naive expectation of a cross
section . The study of the process would allow to measure, for the
first time, the double parton distribution functions in a nucleon in a model
independent way and hence to study both the longitudinal and the transverse
correlations of partons.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figure
High- production as signals for Double Parton scattering at hadron colliders
We present an analysis of the \psi\psi production from double parton (DP)
sacttering and single parton (SP) scattering in the large p_T region via
color-octet gluon fragmentation. We find that at the Tevatron the DP \psi\psi
production is at the edge of the detectability at present, and at the LHC the
DP cross section will dominate over the SP cross section in the lower p_T(min)
region (i.e., p_T(min)<7GeV). We also conclude that the color-octet mechanism
is of crucial importance to the double j/psi production at high energy hadron
colliders.Comment: Revtex, 12 pages, 3 Postscript figure
Double parton distributions in the leading logarithm approximation of perturbative QCD
Recent CDF measurements of the inclusive cross section for a double parton
scattering attach a great importance to any theoretical calculations of
two-particle distribution functions. Using a parton interpretation of the
leading logarithm diagrams of perturbative QCD theory, generalized
Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi-Dokshitzer equations for the two-parton distributions
are re-obtained. The solutions of these equations are not at all the product of
two single-parton distributions what is usually applied to the current analysis
as ansatz.Comment: 8 pages, LaTe
Scale Factor in Double Parton Collisions and Parton Densities in Transverse Space
The scale factor , which characterizes double parton collisions
in high energy hadron interactions, is a direct manifestation of the
distribution of the interacting partons in transverse space, in such a way that
different distributions give rise to different values of in
different double parton collision processes. We work out the value of the scale
factor in a few reactions of interest, in a correlated model of the
multi-parton density of the proton recently proposed.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
A double parton scattering background to Higgs boson production at the LHC
The experimental capability of recognizing the presence of b quarks in
complex hadronic final states has addressed the attention towards final states
with b\bar{b} pairs for observing the production of the Higgs boson at the LHC,
in the intermediate Higgs mass range.We point out that double parton scattering
processes are going to represent a sizeable background to the process.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure
Signals for Double Parton Scattering at the Fermilab Tevatron
Four double-parton scattering processes are examined at the Fermilab Tevatron
energy. With optimized kinematical cuts and realistic parton level simulation
for both signals and backgrounds, we find large samples of four-jet and
three-jet+one-photon events with signal to background ratio being 20\%-30\%,
and much cleaner signals from two-jet+two-photon and two-jet+ final
states. The last channel may provide the first unambiguous observation of
multiple parton interactions, even with the existing data sample accumulated by
the Tevatron collider experiments.Comment: 7 pages, plain LaTeX, 2 tables, no figures. A compressed PS file is

Double parton scatterings in b-quark pairs production at the LHC
A sizable rate of events where two pairs of b-quarks are produced
contemporarily is foreseen at the CERN LHC, as a consequence of the large
parton luminosity. At very high energies both single and the double parton
scatterings contribute to the process, the latter mechanisms, although power
suppressed, giving the dominant contribution to the integrated cross section.Comment: 17 pages, 6 figure
Same-sign W pair production as a probe of double parton scattering at the LHC
We study the production of same-sign W boson pairs at the LHC in double
parton interactions. Compared with simple factorised double parton
distributions (dPDFs), we show that the recently developed dPDFs, GS09, lead to
non-trivial kinematic correlations between the W bosons. A numerical study of
the prospects for observing this process using same-sign dilepton signatures,
including same-sign WWjj, di-boson and heavy flavour backgrounds, at 14 TeV
centre-of-mass energy is then performed. It is shown that a small excess of
same-sign dilepton events from double parton scattering over a background
dominated by single scattering WZ(gamma*) production could be observed at the
LHC.Comment: 14 pages, 8 figures. Added references, slight changes in the text
Multiparton interactions and production of minijets in high energy hadronic collisions
We discuss the inclusive cross section to produce two minijets with a large
separation in rapidity in high energy hadronic collisions. The contribution to
the inclusive cross section from the exchange of a BFKL Pomeron is compared
with the contribution from the exchange of two BFKL Pomerons, which is induced
by the unitarization of the semi-hard interaction. The effect of the multiple
exchange is studied both as a function of the azimuthal correlation and as a
function of the transverse momentum of the observed minijets.Comment: TeX file, 20 pages, 4 figures available on reques
