A multi-channel Poissonian model for multi-parton scatterings
arXiv:0808.2656
Abstract
Multiple parton interactions are typically implemented in Montecarlo codes by assuming a Poissonian distribution of collisions with average number depending on the impact parameter. A possible generalization, which links the process to hadronic diffraction, is shortly discussed.
