The high rates of multi-parton interactions at the LHC can provide a uniqueopportunity to study the multi-parton structure of the hadron. To this purposehigh energy collisions of protons with nuclei are particularly suitable. Therates of multi-parton interactions depend in fact both on the partonicmultiplicities and on the distributions of partons in transverse space, whichproduce different effects on the cross section in pA collisions, as a functionof the atomic mass number A. Differently with respect to the case ofmulti-parton interactions in pp collisions, the possibility of changing theatomic mass number provides thus an additional handle to distinguish thediverse contributions. Some relevant features of double parton interactions inpD collisions have been discussed in a previous paper. In the present paper weshow how the effects of double and triple correlation terms of the multi-partonstructure can be disentangled, by comparing the rates of multiple partoninteractions in collisions of protons with D, Tritium and 3He.

Collisions of protons with light nuclei shed new light on nucleon structure
