## Abstract

Measurements of the production of , and particles in the underlying activity of events with a scale ranging from 1 to 50 GeV/c are made in proton-proton collisions at = 7 TeV, using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. Particle production is studied with reference to the azimuthal direction of the leading set of charged particles forming a “track-jet”. A growth in the average multiplicity and average scalar sum of and + , with > 0.6 GeV/c and > 1.5 GeV/c, within || < 2 and azimuthal direction transverse to that of the leading track-jet, is observed with increasing scale given by the leading track-jet . This growth is followed by a saturation at large values of the scale. The growth and saturation are very similar to what is observed for charged primary particles. The average activity of the underlying event in primary mesons and baryons is compared to recent tunes of the PYTHIA Monte Carlo generator. The PYTHIA simulations underestimate the activity by 15-30% for mesons and by about 50% for + baryons.

## Kinematic fit input variables

Figure Caption
Distributions of invariant mass and invariant mass pulls, for the most probable particle type hypothesis determined by the kinematic fit. Backgrounds (red: misidentified ; green: non-primary or from , and cascade decays; grey: other sources) and signal (yellow) are shown as predicted by PYTHIA6 D6T. The sum of the simulated signal and background distributions is normalized to data.

## Uncorrected rates

Figure Caption
Uncorrected average rate of selected V0 candidates per event, per degree and per unit pseudorapidity within -2 < < 2, in pp collisions at = 7 TeV as a function of angular distance to the leading track-jet. Data and simulations of minimum bias events with different PYTHIA tunes are shown for uncorrected track-jet > 1 GeV/c. Top: with > 600MeV/c; bottom: + with > 1.5 GeV/c.

## Results

Figure Caption
Fully corrected average multiplicity per unit of pseudorapidity and per radian in the transverse region (-2 < < 2,  < < ), as a function of the of the leading trackjet: (left) with > 0.6 GeV/c; (right) + with > 1.5 GeV/c. Predictions of PYTHIA tunes are compared to the data. For data, the statistical uncertainties (error bars) and sum of statistical and systematic uncertainties (error band) are distinguished, while for simulations the total uncertainty is only shown for PYTHIA6 tune Z2 for clarity.
