Multiple Hard Partonic Collisions with Correlations in Proton-Proton Scattering

Understand

We propose a simple method for incorporating correlations into the impact parameter space description of multiple (semi-)hard partonic collisions in high energy hadron-hadron scattering.

• The perturbative QCD input is the standard factorization theorem for inclusive dijet production with a lower cutoff on transverse momentum.
• The width of the transverse distribution of hard partons is fixed by parameterizations of the two-gluon form factor.
• We then reconstruct the hard contribution to the total inelastic profile function and obtain corrections due to correlations to the more commonly used eikonal description.
