Abstract: (Springer)
We investigate the double parton scattering production ofW±+jets in proton colliders. At high energies an observable signal is expected from double parton collisions when events with small transverse momentumW together with two jets balancing inpT are selected. Double parton scattering is also a potentially serious background to several rare processes whose signal is aW++W−(→ev+jets) final state. A simplepTW cut seems to be sufficient to separate the genuineW-pair events from the double scattering background.
