From April 2nd to April 5th, 2024, works related to the implementation of the new version of the Jagiellonian University Repository system will be carried out. It will not be possible to enter new information into the repository during this time. We apologize for any inconvenience.
The production of W bosons in association with two jets in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV 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, $f_{DP}^{(D)}$, has been measured through the $p_{T}$ balance between the two jets and amounts to $f_{DP}^{(D)} = 0.08 \pm 0.01 (stat.) \pm 0.02 (sys.)$ for jets with transverse momentum $p_{T}$ 20 GeV and rapidity $|\gamma|< 2.8$. This corresponds to a measurement of the effective area parameter for hard double-parton interactions of $\sigma_{eff} = 15 \pm 3 (stat.)_{-3}^{+5} (sys.)$ mb.
