Description

The first observation of the concurrent production of two J/ψ mesons in proton-nucleus collisions will be presented. The analysis is based on a data sample recorded at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 8.16 TeV by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 174.6 nb1. The J/ψ mesons are reconstructed in their μ+μ decay channel for transverse momenta pT>6.5 GeV and rapidity |y|<2.4. The measured inclusive fiducial cross section σ(pPbJ/ψJ/ψ+X) will be compared to theoretical perturbative quantum chromodynamics predictions at next-to-leading-order accuracy, including nuclear parton densities effects, for the production of two J/ψ mesons in single- (SPS) and double- (DPS) parton scatterings. The measurement of the double J/ψ cross section in pp collisions at 13 TeV may also be reported.
