Measurement of the underlying event activity in pp collisions at the LHC using leading tracks at √s = 7 TeV and comparison with √s = 0.9 TeV

Abstract

A measurement of the underlying event activity is performed on proton-proton collisions for $\sqrt{s}$ = 0.9 TeV and 7 TeV at CMS. The charged particles in the azimuthal region transverse to the leading track with $p_{T}$ > 0.5 GeV/c and within $|\eta|\!<\!0.8$ are studied. The aim of the study is to compare the measurements with various MC predictions to get extra constraints for the tuning parameters, as well as getting a better understanding for the underlying event phenomena. A significant increase in the average multiplicity and the scalar $\sum p_T$ in the transverse region is observed up to a leading track $p_T$ of few GeV/c followed by a slower rate of increase. Both quantities are observed to increase with $\sqrt{s}$.

The inner error bars represent the statistical uncertainty, and the outer error bars show the systematic and statistical uncertainties added in quadrature. Predictions of {\sc PYTHIA6} (tunes Z1 and D6T), {\sc PYTHIA8} tune 1 and the default tune of Herwig++ are compared to the data and the ratio of the MC prediction over the data are presented in the lower row.

The inner error bars represent the statistical uncertainty, and the outer error bars represent systematic and statistical uncertainties added in quadrature. The lower plots show the ratio of the MC predictions over the data, as functions of the leading track $p_T$, with pT > 0.5 GeV/c and \η\ < 0.8 in the transverse region for the average multiplicity (lower left) and the average scalar $\sum p_T$ (lower right). The inner bands correspond to the average statistical uncertainty and the outer error bands correspon to the total experimental uncertainty (statistical and systematic uncertainties added in quadrature). The outer error bands are hardly visible since the regions of high leading track $p_{T}$ where the statistical uncertainty dominates in the results shown.

The inner error bars represent statistical uncertainty, and the outer error bars represent systematic and statistical uncertainties added in quadrature except for correlated systematic uncertainty sources. The lower row shows the ratio of the hadronic activity in the transverse region for the two center of mass energies: The average multiplicity (lower left plot) and the average scalar $\sum p_T$ (lower right plot).
