The analyzed data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 77.4fb-1, collected using the CMS detector at the LHC in 2016 and 2017. Multivariate classifiers are used to discriminate between the signal and the dominant background processes. A maximum likelihood fit is performed to extract the signal cross section. This leads to the first evidence for WW production via double-parton scattering, with a significance of 3.9 standard deviations. The measured inclusive cross section is 1.41±0.28(stat)±0.28(syst)pb. © 2020, CERN for the benefit of the CMS collaboration.Springer Nature2020Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/13652https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-019-7541-61434-6044enEuropean Physical Journal Cinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/13652
