A short review of some double-parton scattering processes

A few examples of quickly developing field of double parton scattering are discussed. We present arguments that the production of two pairs of charm quark-antiquark is the golden reaction to study the double parton scattering effects. We discuss briefly also mechanism of single parton scattering and show that it gives much smaller contribution to the $c \bar c c \bar c$ final state. In this context we discuss also the contribution of perturbative parton-splitting mechanism which should also be added to the conventional DPS mechanism. The presence of the letter leads to collision energy and other kinematical variables dependence of so-called $σ_{eff}$. We briefly discuss production of four jets. We concentrate on estimation of the contribution of DPS for jets widely separated in rapidity. Finally we briefly mention about DPS effects in production of $W^+ W^-$.
