The analysed data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb(-1). No deviation from the Standard Model is observed in the invariant mass spectrum of the two-jet pairs. A limit on the scalar gluon pair production cross section of 70 pb (10 pb) is obtained at the 95 % confidence level for a scalar gluon mass of 150 GeV (350 GeV). Interpreting these results as mass limits on scalar gluons, masses ranging from 150 GeV to 287 GeV are excluded at the 95 % confidence level. %R 10.1140/epjc/s10052-012-2263-z %U http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1210.4826 %U https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-012-2263-z %P 2263 - 20pp
