Description

In high-energy proton-proton collisions, interactions between "spectator partons" are inevitable. Collisions with two hard parton-level scatters can contribute to important channels at the LHC. This mechanism probes interesting aspects of hadron structure, with several relations to EIC physics. I give an introduction to multiparton scattering and highlight some some of these aspects.
