Resumen |
We have used a sample of γ+3 jets events collected by the D0 experiment with an integrated luminosity of about 1fb-1 to determine the fraction of events with double parton scattering (fDP) in a single pp̄ collision at √s=1.96TeV. The DP fraction and effective cross section (σeff), a process-independent scale parameter related to the parton density inside the nucleon, are measured in three intervals of the second (ordered in pT) jet transverse momentum pTjet2 within the range 15≤pTjet2≤30GeV. In this range, fDP varies between 0.23≤fDP≤0.47, while σeff has the average value σeffave=16.4±0.3(stat) ±2.3(syst)mb. |
