Abstract
The production of W bosons in association with two jets in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 has been analysed for the presence of double-parton interactions using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb⁻¹, collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The fraction of events arising from double-parton interactions, f(D)DP, has been measured through the pT balance between the two jets and amounts to f(D)DP = 0.08 ± 0.01(stat.) ± 0.02 (sys.) for jets with transverse momentum pT> 20 GeV and rapidity |y| <2.8. This corresponds to a measurement of the effective area parameter for hard double-parton interactions of σeff = 15 ± 3 (stat.)+5−3 (sys.) mb.
