A bstractDouble parton scattering is investigated in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s} $ = 7 TeV where the final state includes a W boson, which decays into a muon and a neutrino, and two jets. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5 fb−1, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. Observables sensitive to double parton scattering are investigated after being corrected for detector effects and selection efficiencies. The fraction of W + 2-jet events due to double parton scattering is measured to be 0.055 ± 0.002 (stat.) ± 0.014 (syst.). The effective cross section, σeff, characterizing the effective transverse area of hard partonic interactions in collisions between protons is measured to be 20.7 ± 0.8(stat.) ± 6.6(syst.)mb.

- Event generator tunes obtained from underlying event and multiparton scattering measurements (2015, methodology): “In a comparison of models with W+dijet events [36], it was shown that higher-order SPS contributions (not present in PYTHIA) fill a similar region of phase-space as the DPS signal.”
