Scientific paper
Multiple hard interactions of partons in the same p+p(\bar p) collision are a useful concept in the description of these collisions at collider energies. In particular, they play a crucial role for the understanding of the background (the so-called underlying event) in the reconstruction of jets. In nucleus-nucleus collisions multiple hard parton interactions and the corresponding production of mini-jets are expected to contribute significantly to the total particle multiplicity. In this article a brief overview of results on particle production at high-pT in proton-proton and nucleus-nucleus at RHIC will be given. Moreover, the observed centrality dependence of the charged particle multiplicity in Au+Au collisions will be discussed in light of multiple partonic interactions.
