The proton structure via double parton scattering
Abstract
In this talk we present the results of the investigation on the so called double parton distribution functions (dPDFs), accessible quantities in high energy proton-proton and proton nucleus collisions, in double parton scattering processes (DPS). These new and almost unknown distributions encode information on how partons inside a proton are correlated among each other and represent a new tool to explore the three dimensional partonic structure of hadrons. In the present contribution, results of the calculations of dPFDs are presented also including phenomenological investigations on the impact of double correlations in experimental observables, showing how the latter could be observed in the next LHC run. In addition we discuss how present information on experimental observables could be related to the transverse proton structure.
