The ATLAS collaboration recently reported on the first observation of associated-production of a Z 0 boson with a J/ψ. We recently claimed that the corresponding yield of the prompt J/ψ was dominated by double parton scatterings in the ATLAS acceptance with a somewhat small value of σ eff . We also found out that single parton scatterings were only dominant at large transverse momenta. We present here the first phenomenological analysis of another part of the ATLAS data sample, namely of a Z 0 boson plus a non-prompt J/ψ. Our study is performed at next-to-leading order in α s and includes parton-shower effects via the MadGraph5 aMC@NLO framework. We find out that the data, unlike the case of prompt J/ψ + Z 0 , do not hint at significant DPS contributions. Owing to the current experimental and theoretical uncertainties, there is still a room for these but with a lower limit of σ eff close to 5 mb. We stress the importance of QCD corrections to account for the ATLAS data.commonly used-assumption whereby both scatterings occur independently without affecting each others' kinematics. As such, their individual cross sections appear in a factorised way, in what we call the "pocket formula". As of today, there do not exist proofs of such a factorised formula. Recent and less recent theoretical DPS studies have identified factorisation-breaking effects (see e.g. , 29]) and have thus shown that such a factorised "pocket formula" can only be an approximation and we stress that it should only be considered as such. That being said, given the other theoretical and experimental uncertainties involved in such extractions, such a simplification is perfectly sound.Quarkonia being produced via the gluon-gluon initial states, their pair production could help us probe the transverse correlations of the gluon-gluon in a proton (see e.g. [20]). In fact, many quarkonium associated production processes have been recently measured. Let us cite J/ψ pair production by LHCb [30], D0 [1], CMS [31] and ATLAS [32] , J/ψ + Υ production by D0 [3], Υ(1S ) pair production by CMS [33], J/ψ + Z 0 /W ± production by ATLAS [34,35], J/ψ/Υ + charm by LHCb [36,37], with their theory counterparts for J/ψ + J/ψ [38,39,40,2,41,42,43,44,45],The observed different trend between the extracted values of σ eff for jets and quarkonia may be the first hint of a nontrivial flavour dependence of these correlations. Along these lines, the associated production of a vector boson with heavy flavours, which we treat here, could be an unique playground to probe corresponding quark-gluon correlations.In this paper, we are in particular interested in the associated production of a Z 0 boson with a b quark, via the observation of a non-prompt J/ψ, as measured by the ATLAS collaboration [34]. This production channel is thus supposed to probe the underlying process pp → Z 0 + bb + X 1 . At the LHC, such partonic reactions are usually proposed to be studied via Z 0 plus b-jet. We however stress that both final states are complementary since looking at the b via non-prompt J/ψ...
