Off-shell amplitudes and four-jet production ink_T-factorization

Abstract

Abstract. We perform a study of both Single and Double Parton Scattering contributions to the inclusive 4-jet production in the k T -factorization framework at Leading Order and √ s = 7 TeV and 13 TeV. We discuss the importance of double parton scattering for relatively soft cuts on the jet transverse momenta and find out that symmetric cuts do not suit well k T -factorization predictions, because of a kinematic effect suppressing the double parton scattering contribution.
