Using the 2011 ATLAS dataset of 4.5 fb(-1) of root s= 7 TeV pp collisions at the LHC, the first observation is made of the production of W (+/-) + prompt J/psi events in hadronic collisions, using W (+/-) -> μnu(mu) and J/psi -> mu(+)mu(-) center dot A yield of W (+/-) + prompt J/psi events is observed, with a statistical significance of 5.1 sigma. The production rate as a ratio to the inclusive W (+/-) boson production rate is measured, and the double parton scattering contribution to the cross section is estimated. %K Hadron-Hadron Scattering %R 10.1007/JHEP04(2014)172 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1401.2831 %U https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP04(2014)172 %P 172-37pp
