Zimanyi-School, Budapest, 03/12/2014 A. Ster, Wigner-RCP, Hungary 3 Motivations An example: the PYTHIA MC-model is the most successful description of inelactic reaction in DIS and pp collisions. But: there are simplified assumptions about correlations and diffraction. Our goal: to undestand underlying dynamics in more detail. - evolution of parton densities - correlations and fluctuations - diffraction - nuclear collisions
Zimanyi-School, Budapest, 03/12/2014 A. Ster, Wigner-RCP, Hungary 4 Motivations: correlations Our solution: detailed dynamical model for parton evolution (Lund Dipole Cascade Model) Earlier Sjöstrand and van Zilj assumed that the dependence of double-parton density on kinematic variables (x, Q 2 ) and on the separation in impact parameter space (b) factorizes. Implemented in PYTHYA and HERWIG event generators Problem: how to extrapolate to higher energies (LHC)
