Multiparton scattering at the LHC
Abstract
The large parton flux at high energy gives rise to events where different pairs of partons interact contemporarily with large momentum exchange. A main effect of multiple parton interactions is to generate events with many jets at relatively large transverse momenta. The large value of the heavy quarks production cross section may however give also rise a sizable rate of events with several b-quarks produced. We summarize the main features of multiparton interactions and make some estimate of the inclusive cross section to produce two b b pairs within the acceptance of the ALICE detector.
