| Abstract: Measurements are presented of the cross section for the production of at least four jets, of which at least two originate from b quarks, in proton-proton collisions. Data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV are used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 pb$^{-1}$. The cross section is measured as a function of the jet transverse momentum for $p_{\mathrm{T}} > $ 20 GeV, and of the jet pseudorapidity for $ | {\eta} | < $ 2.4 (b jets), 4.7 (untagged jets). The correlations in azimuthal angle and $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ between the jets are also studied. The inclusive cross section is measured to be $\sigma(\mathrm{ p }\mathrm{ p }\to 2 \mathrm{ b } + 2 \mathrm{j} + \mathrm{X}) =$ 69 $\pm$ 3 (stat) $\pm$ 24 (syst) nb. The $\eta$ and $ p_{\mathrm{T}}$ distributions of the four jets and the correlations between them are well reproduced by event generators that combine perturbative QCD calculations at next-to-leading-order accuracy with contributions from parton showers and multiparton interactions. | ||

Systematic and statistical uncertainties affecting the absolute and the normalized cross sections for each measured observable: each source of uncertainty is specified and the value is the average over all the bins of the observable. The 4% uncertainty from the integrated luminosity is included in the total uncertainty affecting the absolute cross sections. The total uncertainty is obtained by summing the individual experimental uncertainties quadratically. The theoretical uncertainties, listed in the last two columns, affect all the predictions. The systematic uncertainties in the normalized cross sections are smaller than those for the absolute cross sections, since, among others, they are not affected by the migration effects from outside the selected phase space. |

| Summary |
| A study of events with at least four jets, at least two of which are b jets, in proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV is presented. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 pb$^{-1}$, were collected with the CMS experiment in 2010. The two b jets must be within pseudorapidity $ | {\eta} | < $ 2.4, and the two other jets must be within $ | {\eta} | < $ 4.7. The transverse momenta of all the jets are required to be greater than 20 GeV. The cross section is measured to be $\sigma(\mathrm{ p }\mathrm{ p } \to 2 \mathrm{ b } + 2 \mathrm{j} + \mathrm{X}) = $ 69 $\pm$ 3 (stat) $\pm$ 24 (syst) nb. The differential cross sections as a function of the $ p_{\mathrm{T}} $ and $\eta$ of each of the four jets are presented, along with the cross sections as a function of kinematic jet correlation variables. The results are compared to several theoretical predictions with and without contributions from double parton scattering. The models based on leading order or next-to-leading-order dijet matrix element calculations, matched to parton shower and including multiparton interaction (MPI) contributions, describe well the differential cross sections as a function of $ p_{\mathrm{T}} $ and $\eta$ in the whole measured region. The differential cross sections as a function of the jet correlation variables are poorly reproduced by models that do not include contributions from MPI. Specifically, the predictions of POWHEG interfaced with PYTHIA 8 without the simulation of multiple parton interactions underestimate the cross sections as a function of $\Delta \mathrm{S} $ and $\Delta^{\text{rel}}_{\text{light}}p_{\mathrm{T}}$ in the regions of the phase space where a double parton scattering (DPS) signal is expected. These results demonstrate, for the first time, the sensitivity of kinematic jet correlation variables, such as $\Delta \mathrm{S} $ and $\Delta^{\text{rel}}_{\text{light}}p_{\mathrm{T}}$, to DPS processes in multijet final states with heavy-quarks. |
