Contribution
It introduces a hot spot model for nucleon structure to calculate DPS rates, highlighting possible tensions with experimental measurements.
Findings
DPS rate calculated within the hot spot model.
Tension observed between model predictions and LHC data.
Three hot spots scenario shows significant discrepancy.
Abstract
We calculate the rate of double parton scattering (DPS) in proton - proton collisions in the framework of the recently proposed hot spot model of the nucleon structure. The resulting rate, especially for the case of three hot spots, appears to be in tension with the current experimental data on DPS at the LHC.
