Description

Recently, the W boson mass measured by the CDF-II collaboration shows large tension with the standard model prediction and other measurements. In this work, we look into the double parton scattering (DPS) contribution in CDF-II W mass measurement. We show that the DPS process can increase the measured mass as \Delta M_W=20-200~\mbox{MeV} for the missing transverse momentum fit and \Delta M_W=0-50~\mbox{MeV} for the transverse mass fit. It is comparable to the W-mass tension and should be take into consideration. The DPS effect can also appears in other inclusive measurements, since it contributes \sim10^{-2} events in total and cause a \mathcal{O}(10^{-2})-\mathcal{O}(10^{-1})~\mbox{GeV} shift of the missing transverse momentum.
