Jet fragmentation as a tool to explore double parton scattering using Z-boson + jets processes at the LHC

Understand

The Large Hadron Collider witnesses the highest ever production cross-section of double parton scattering processes.

• The production of a Z-boson along with two jets from double parton scattering provides a unique opportunity to explore the kinematics of double parton scattering processes and their dependence on the scale of the second interaction.
• The experimental measurement of this process is largely contaminated by Z + jets production from single parton scattering.
• In this paper, fragmentation properties of a jet are explored to check their sensitivity towards double parton scattering.
