Abstract

We present a generating functional formalism suited to the treatment of multiple partonic interactions in high energy hadronic and nuclear collisions. In simple nontrivial cases closed expressions for the semihard cross section are obtained and partonic correlations in the multiparton distributions are explicitly taken into account.
