    We present the observation of doubly produced $J / \psi$ mesons as an example of processes containing a substantial fraction of double parton scattering. Measurements of the production cross sections for singly and doubly-produced $J/\psi$ mesons were done with the D0 detector at Fermilab in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.96 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 8.1 fb$^{-1}$. For the first time, the double $J / \psi$ production cross section is separated into two parts: contributions from both single and double parton scattering. Lastly, this separation allowed us to determine the effective cross section σeff, a parameter related to the parton spatial density inside the hadron.
