The differential cross-section, assuming unpolarised J/psi production, is measured as a function of the transverse momentum of the lower-p(T) J/psi meson, di-J/psi p(T) and mass, the difference in rapidity between the two J/psi mesons, and the azimuthal angle between the two J/psi mesons. The fraction of prompt pair events due to double parton scattering is determined by studying kinematic correlations between the two J/psi mesons. The total and double parton scattering cross-sections are compared with predictions. The effective cross-section of double parton scattering is measured to be sigma(eff) = 6.3 +/- 1.6(stat) +/- 1.0(syst) mb.", optnote="WOS:000400004500001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3108), last updated on Thu, 18 May 2017 12:07:50 +0000", issn="1434-6044", doi="10.1140/epjc/s10052-017-4644-9", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1612.02950", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-017-4644-9", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1612.02950", language="English" }
