We analyze the effect of $\pi^2$-terms in the QCD perturbative expansions for the s-channel effective coupling and observables, the effect known from the 80s. We remind that these terms can be collected into specific functions -- strong…

Double parton distributions (DPDs) receive a short-distance contribution from a single parton splitting to yield the two observed partons. We investigate this mechanism at next-to-leading order (NLO) in perturbation theory. Technically, we…
