We discuss production of charmed mesons and J/Psi in p(d)A collisions at high energies. We argue that when the saturation scale Qs characterizing the parton density in a nucleus exceeds the quark mass m, the naive perturbation theory breaks…
A selection of topics on open heavy quark production at HERA are reviewed here. Measurements of charm fragmentation parameters will be presented together with developments in the study of D* di-jet angular distributions. Charm production in…

The effect of multiple scatterings on the propagation of hard partonic jets in a dense nuclear medium is studied in the framework of deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) off a large nucleus. Power counting arguments based on the Glauber improved…
The Large Hadron Collider witnesses the highest ever production cross-section of double parton scattering processes. The production of a Z-boson along with two jets from double parton scattering provides a unique opportunity to explore the…
In charged current deep inelastic scattering charm is dominantly produced in scattering events on strange quarks, thereby allowing for an experimental determination of the nucleon's strange sea density. A measurement of the energy spectrum…

We perform a first study of 4-jet production in a complete high-energy factorization (HEF) framework. We include and discuss contributions from both single-parton scattering (SPS) and double-parton scattering (DPS). The calculations are…
The double parton distributions (dPDF), both conventional and those corresponding to parton splitting, are calculated and compared for different two-parton combinations. The conventional and splitting dPDFs have very similar shape in $x_1$…
In ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions, charm quark fragmentation is modified due to the melting of strings inside the high density partonic matter. D mesons produced in hadronization can further produce J/psi particles. Using a…
Associated production of prompt $\Upsilon(1S)$ and $D^{+,0}$ mesons has been proposed as a golden channel for the search of Double Parton Scattering, because Single Parton Scattering contribution to the cross-section is believed to be…
In a previous work, we studied the momentum fraction and hard--scale dependence of double parton scattering (DPS) in proton--proton collisions and the resulting dependence of the effective cross section on the final--state observables. In…
We investigate several ingredients for a theory of multiple hard scattering in hadron-hadron collisions. Issues discussed include the space-time structure of multiple interactions, their power behavior, spin and color correlations,…

Recent LHCb measurements of the $J/\psi$ meson production in jets is analyzed using fragmentation jet function formalism. It is shown that disagreement with theoretical predictions for distribution over the fraction of $J/\psi$ transverse…
Charm in electron proton collisions is a particularly large and interesting field. For this summary two topics particularly relevant for HERA have been selected. First the study of inelastic J/psi production in both the photoproduction and…
Two-photon emission of an electron in an electromagnetic plane wave of vanishing frequency is calculated. The unpolarised probability is split into a two-step process, which is shown to be exactly equal to an integration over polarised…
We introduce a technique to study double parton scattering (DPS) in the Color-Glass-Condensate (CGC) approach. We show that the cross-section of the DPS in the CGC approach is calculable in terms of new nonperturbative objects, generalized…

We analyze spin dependent parton distributions consistent with the most recent measurements of the spin dependent deep inelastic scattering structure functions and obtained in the framework of the spin dilution model. Predictions for the…
