High Energy Physics Seminar
Double Parton Scattering
Aneesh Manohar,
UC San Diego,
Double parton scattering has been observed at the LHC, and is a significant background to Higgs and same sign WW production. The talk will describe the QCD analysis of double parton scattering, including double parton distributions and their Q^2 evolution. Double parton scattering allows one to measure quark spin and color correlations in the proton.
