Double parton scattering (DPS) corresponds to events where two parton-parton scatterings occur in a single hadron-hadron collision. The DPS effects may arise from the spectator scatterings that are somewhat related to soft QCD activities.…

Light-Front Holography is a remarkable consequence of the correspondence between string theory in AdS space and conformal field theories in physical-space time. It allows string modes $\Phi(z)$ in the AdS fifth dimension to be precisely…
