This paper summarizes the Multiple Parton Interactions studies in CMS, focusing on the already performed low pT QCD measurements up to highest centre of mass energies of 7 TeV and discussing the plans for the direct measurement of the multiple high-pT scatterings. The underlying event in pp interactions is studied measuring the charged multiplicity density and the charged energy density in the transverse region, which is defined considering the azimuthal distance of the reconstructed tracks with respect to the leading track-jet of the event, defined from tracks according to a jet clustering algorithms. In addition, we present the measurement of the underlying event using the jet-area/median approach, demonstrating its sensitivity to different underlying event scenarios. Observations in the central region are complemented by the mea- surement of the energy flow in the forward direction for minimum bias and central di-jet events. We compare our underlying event and forward results with the predictions from different Monte Carlo event generators and tunes, aiming to best parametrize the multiple parton interaction energy de- pendence starting from the Monte Carlo tunes developed to best fit the charged particle spectra measured at central rapidities. Finally we discuss the strategy to directly measure the multiple particle interactions rate focusing on the topologies with two hard scatterings in the same event.

At the LHC Multiple Parton Interactions will represent an important feature of the minimum bias and of the underlying event and will give important contributions in many channels of interest for the search of new physics. Different numbers of multiple collision may contribute to the production of a given final state and one should expect important interference effects in the regime where different contributions have similar rates. We show, on the contrary, that, once multiple parton interactions are identified by their different topologies, terms with different numbers of multiple parton interactions do not interfere in the final cross section.
Due to coherence, there are strong electromagnetic fields of short duration in very peripheral collisions. They give rise to photon-photon and photon-nucleus collisions with high flux up to an invariant mass region hitherto unexplored experimentally. After a general survey photon-photon luminosities in relativistic heavy ion collisions are discussed. Special care is taken to include the effects of strong interactions and nuclear size. Then photon-photon physics at various invariant mass scales is discussed. Invariant masses of up to about 100 GeV can be reached at LHC, and in addition the potential for new physics is available. Photonuclear reactions and other important background effects, especially diffractive processes are also discussed. Lepton-pair production, especially electron-positron pair production is copious. Due to the strong fields there will be new phenomena, especially multiple e+e- pair production.
We review the recent progress in the theoretical description and experimental observation of multiple parton interactions. Subjects covered include experimental measurements of minimum bias interactions and of the underlying event, models of soft physics implemented in Monte Carlo generators, developments in the theoretical description of multiple parton interactions and phenomenological studies of double parton scattering. This article stems from contributions presented at the Helmholtz Alliance workshop on Multi-Parton Interactions at the LHC, DESY Hamburg, 13-15 September 2010.
Multiple-parton interactions play a vital role in hadron-hadron collisions. This paper presents a study of the multiple-parton interactions with simulated Z + jets events in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The events are simulated with POWHEG followed by hadronization and parton-showering using PYTHIA 8. The events with dimuon invariant mass in the range of 60--120 GeV are selected for the analysis. The charged particle jets, having minimum transverse momentum of 5 GeV and absolute pseudo-rapidity less than 2, are used to construct the observables for measurements of the multiple-parton interactions. The proposed observables and phase-space region presented in this paper found to have enhanced sensitivity to multiple-parton interactions. The increased sensitivity to MPI will be lead to precise constraints on the parameters of the MPI models.
In a simplified model of Multiple Parton Interactions the inclusive cross sections, of processes with large momentum transfer exchange, acquire the statistical meaning of factorial moments of the distribution in multiplicity of interactions, while more exclusive cross sections, which can provide complementary information on the interaction dynamics, become experimentally viable. Inclusive and exclusive cross sections are linked by sum rules, which can be tested experimentally.
