F. Abe et al., MEASUREMENT OF DOUBLE PARTON SCATTERING IN (P)OVER-BAR-P COLLISIONS AT ROOT-S=1.8 TEV, Physical review letters, 79(4), 1997, pp. 584-589
A strong signal for double parton scattering (DP) is observed in a 16
pb(-1) sample of (p) over bar p(-1) sample of (p) over bar p --> gamma
+ 3 jets + X data from the CDF experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. T
he process-independent DP parameter, sigma(eff), is obtained without r
eference to theoretical calculations by comparing observed DP events t
o events with hard scatterings at separate (p) over bar p collisions.
The result, sigma(eff) = (14.5 +/- 1.7(-2.3)(+1.7)) mb. represents a s
ignificant improvement over previous measurements. For the first time,
the Feynman x dependence of the sigma(eff) parameter is investigated,
and no dependence is seen.
