Event details
Double parton scattering (DPS) is the process in which one has two hard scatterings in an individual proton-proton collision. It can compete in rate with single scattering in certain kinematic regions and/or for certain processes, reveals new information on proton structure, and becomes more important as collider energy grows. I will give a broad overview of developments in the theoretical description of double parton scattering, beginning with the most simple “pocket formula” approach, and then progressing to the recent development of a full QCD framework for DPS. I will also discuss calculation of higher order corrections in the QCD framework, as well as efforts towards implementing this framework as a parton shower.

About Particle Physics Theory seminars
The Particle Physics Theory seminar is a weekly series of talks reflecting the diverse interests of the group. Topics include analytic and numerical calculations based on the Standard Model of elementary particle physics, theories exploring new physics, as well as more formal developments in gauge theories and gravity..
