Study of the underlying event at forward rapidity in proton-proton collisions at the LHC

Contents:

Abstract

We study the underlying event activity in pp collisions at forward rapidity ( $5.2 &lt; \vert\eta\vert &lt; 6.6$ ) by measuring the ratio of the energy density, $dE/d\eta$ , between events with a charged particle jet produced at central rapidity ( $\vert\eta\vert &lt; 2$ ) and inclusive events. The energy density ratio is measured as a function of the charged particle jet transverse momentum at three different proton-proton centre-of-mass energies ( $\sqrt{\rm{s}} = 0.9, 2.76 \;\rm{and}\; 7 \;\rm{TeV}$ ). In addition, the relative increase of the energy density in inclusive events and in events with a central charged particle jet as a function of centre-of-mass energy is studied. The results are compared to MC generators for pp collisions and discussed in terms of the underlying event activity.

Corrected results are compared to the PYTHIA and HERWIG++ MC models. Error bars indicate the statistical error on the data points, while the grey band around data points represents the statistical and systematic uncertainties added in quadrature.
