Description

The effects of multiple interactions in colliding particles (e.g. in nucleus-nucleus collisions) are modeled using the light-cone dipole approach. Guided by the abelian analogue of multi-photon interactions in the production of a pair of charged particles, we relate the inclusive cross section of quark pair production with the cross sections of interaction of a QCD dipole with either the beam or the target.
