Description

We present evidence of associated vector boson+prompt J/psi production and measure its production rate. This is a key observable to further the understanding of quarkonium production mechanisms. We estimate the relative contributions to the signal from single and double parton scattering (DPS) and discuss possible implications of this novel final state for study of multiple parton interactions. We also review the cross-section measurement of double-J/psi production, separating the prompt-prompt, prompt-non-prompt and non-prompt di-J/psi production and estimating also the DPS contribution. Single parton scattering cross-sections are compared to cutting-edge theoretical calculations in the colour singlet and colour octet formalisms.
