Abstract

<jats:title>A<jats:sc>bstract</jats:sc> </jats:title> <jats:p>The production cross-section of <jats:italic>J/ψ</jats:italic> pairs in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of <jats:inline-formula> <jats:alternatives> <jats:tex-math>$$ \sqrt{s} $$</jats:tex-math> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msqrt> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> </mml:msqrt> </mml:math> </jats:alternatives> </jats:inline-formula> = 13 TeV is measured using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4<jats:italic>.</jats:italic>2 fb<jats:sup> <jats:italic>−</jats:italic>1</jats:sup> collected by the LHCb experiment. The measurement is performed with both <jats:italic>J/ψ</jats:italic> mesons in the transverse momentum range 0 <jats:italic>&lt; p</jats:italic> <jats:sub>T</jats:sub> <jats:italic>&lt;</jats:italic> 14 GeV/<jats:italic>c</jats:italic> and rapidity range 2<jats:italic>.</jats:italic>0 <jats:italic>&lt; y &lt;</jats:italic> 4<jats:italic>.</jats:italic>5. The cross-section of this process is measured to be 16<jats:italic>.</jats:italic>36 ± 0<jats:italic>.</jats:italic>28 (stat) ± 0<jats:italic>.</jats:italic>88 (syst) nb. The contributions from single-parton scattering and double-parton scattering are separated based on the dependence of the cross-section on the absolute rapidity difference ∆<jats:italic>y</jats:italic> between the two <jats:italic>J/ψ</jats:italic> mesons. The effective cross-section of double-parton scattering is measured to be <jats:italic>σ</jats:italic> <jats:sub>eff</jats:sub> = 13<jats:italic>.</jats:italic>1 <jats:italic>±</jats:italic> 1<jats:italic>.</jats:italic>8 (stat) <jats:italic>±</jats:italic> 2<jats:italic>.</jats:italic>3 (syst) mb. The distribution of the azimuthal angle <jats:italic>ϕ</jats:italic> <jats:sub>CS</jats:sub> of one of the <jats:italic>J/ψ</jats:italic> mesons in the Collins-Soper frame and the <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> <jats:sub>T</jats:sub>-spectrum of the <jats:italic>J/ψ</jats:italic> pairs are also measured for the study of the gluon transverse-momentum dependent distributions inside protons. The extracted values of ⟨cos 2<jats:italic>ϕ</jats:italic> <jats:sub>CS</jats:sub>⟩ and ⟨cos 4<jats:italic>ϕ</jats:italic> <jats:sub>CS</jats:sub>⟩ are consistent with zero, but the presence of azimuthal asymmetry at a few percent level is allowed.</jats:p>
