Measurement of the production cross section of prompt J/ψ mesons in association with a W[superscript ±] boson in pp collisions at √ s[overbar]= 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

The process pp --> W[superscript ±] J/ψ provides a powerful probe of the production mechanism of charmonium in hadronic collisions, and is also sensitive to multiple parton interactions in the colliding protons. Using the 2011 ATLAS dataset of 4.5 fb[superscript −1] of √ s[overbar]= 7 TeV pp coll...
