CDF_2000_S4155203 ================= Z pT measurement in CDF Z -> e+ e- events Status: VALIDATED Spires ID: 4155203 Spires URL: http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires/find/hep/www?rawcmd=key+4155203 Experiment: CDF Tevatron Run 1 Year of publication: 2000 Authors: Hendrik Hoeth <hendrik.hoeth@cern.ch> Description: Measurement of transverse momentum and total cross section of e^+e^- pairs in the Z-boson region of $66~\text{GeV}/c^2 < m_{ee} < 116~\text{GeV}/c^2$ from pbar-p collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV, with the Tevatron CDF detector. The Z pT, in a fully-factorised picture, is generated by the momentum balance against initial state radiation (ISR) and the primordial/intrinsic pT of the Z's parent partons in the incoming hadrons. The Z pT is important in generator tuning to fix the interplay of ISR and multi-parton interactions (MPI) ingenerating `underlying event' activity. This analysis is subject to ambiguities in the experimental Z pT definition,since the Rivet implementation reconstructs the Z momentum from the dileptonpair with finite cones for photon brem summation, rather than YFS unfoldingor a non-portable direct access to the Z in the event record. Run details: ppbar collisions at 1800 GeV. $Z/\gamma*$ Drell-Yan events with e+ e- decay mode only.

CDF_2001_S4751469 ================= Field & Stuart Run I underlying event analysis. Status: VALIDATED Spires ID: 4751469 Spires URL: http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires/find/hep/www?rawcmd=key+4751469 Experiment: CDF Tevatron Run 1 Year of publication: 2001 Authors: Andy Buckley <andy.buckley@durham.ac.uk> Description: The original CDF underlying event analysis, based on decomposing each event into a transverse structure with ``toward'', ``away'' and ``transverse'' regions defined relative to the azimuthal direction of the leading jet in the event. Since the toward region is by definition dominated by the hard process, as is the away region by momentum balance in the matrix element, the transverse region is most sensitive to multi- parton interactions. The transverse regions occupy $|\phi| \in [60\degree, 120\degree]$ for $|\eta| < 1$. The pT ranges for the leading jet are divided experimentally into the `min-bias' sample from 0--20 GeV, and the `JET20' sample from 18--49 GeV. Run details: ppbar QCD interactions at 1800 GeV. The leading jet is binned from 0--49 GeV, and histos can usually can be filled with a single generator run without kinematic sub-samples. References: Phys.Rev.D65:092002,2002 FNAL-PUB 01/211-E
CDF_2002_S4796047 ================= CDF Run 1 charged multiplicity measurement Status: VALIDATED Spires ID: 4796047 Spires URL: http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires/find/hep/www?rawcmd=key+4796047 Experiment: CDF Tevatron Run 1 Year of publication: 2002 Authors: Hendrik Hoeth <hendrik.hoeth@cern.ch> Description: A study of ppbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1800 and 630 GeV collected using a minimum bias trigger in which the data set is divided into two classes corresponding to `soft' and `hard' interactions. For each subsample, the analysis includes measurements of the multiplicity, transverse momentum (pT) spectra, and the average pT and event-by- event pT dispersion as a function of multiplicity. A comparison of results shows distinct differences in the behavior of the two samples as a function of the center of mass energy. The properties of the soft sample are invariant as a function of c.m. energy. Run details: QCD events at sqrt(s) = 630 and 1800 GeV.

CDF_2004_S5839831 ================= Transverse cone and 'Swiss cheese' underlying event studies Status: UNVALIDATED Spires ID: 5839831 Spires URL: http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires/find/hep/www?rawcmd=key+5839831 Experiment: CDF Tevatron Run 2 Year of publication: 2004 Authors: Andy Buckley <andy.buckley@durham.ac.uk> Description: This analysis studies the underlying event via transverse cones of $R = 0.7$ at 90 degrees in \phi relative to the leading (highest E) jet, at sqrt(s) = 630 and 1800 GeV. This is similar to the 2001 CDF UE analysis, except that cones, rather than the whole central \eta range are used. The transverse cones are categorised as TransMIN and TransMAX on an event-by- event basis, to give greater sensitivity to the UE component. 'Swiss Cheese' distributions, where cones around the leading $n$ jets are excluded from the distributions, are also included for $n = 2, 3$. This analysis is useful for constraining the energy evolution of the underlying event, since it performs the same analyses at two distinct CoM energies. WARNING, the Swiss Cheese plots are not considered validated, as we have not yet been able to reproduce the MC curves shown in the paper. Run details: QCD events at sqrt(s) = 630 & 1800 GeV Several pTmin cutoffs are probably required to fill the profile histograms, e.g. 0 (min bias), 30, 90, 150 GeV at 1800 GeV; and 0 (min bias), 20, 90, 150 GeV } at 630 GeV References: Phys.

CDF_2008_LEADINGJETS ==================== CDF Run 2 underlying event in leading jet events Status: VALIDATED Spires ID: NONE Spires URL: http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires/find/hep/www?rawcmd=key+NONE Experiment: CDF Tevatron Run 2 Year of publication: 2008 Authors: Hendrik Hoeth <hendrik.hoeth@cern.ch> Description: Rick Field's measurement of the underlying event in leading jet events. If the leading jet of the event is within $|\eta| < 2$, the event is accepted and ``toward'', ``away'' and ``transverse'' regions are defined in the same way as in the original (2001) CDF underlying event analysis. The leading jet defines the $\phi$ direction of the toward region. The transverse regions are most sensitive to the underlying event. Run details: ppbar QCD interactions at 1960 GeV. Particles with $c \tau > {}$10 mm should be set stable. Several $p_\perp^\text{min}$ cutoffs are probably required to fill the profile histograms. $p_\perp^\text{min} = {}$ 0 (min bias), 10, 20, 50, 100, 150 GeV. The corresponding merging points are at $p_T = $ 0, 30, 50, 80, 130, 180 GeV
CDF_2008_NOTE_9351 ================== CDF Run 2 underlying event in Drell-Yan Status: VALIDATED Spires ID: NONE Spires URL: http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires/find/hep/www?rawcmd=key+NONE Experiment: CDF Tevatron Run 2 Year of publication: 2008 Authors: Hendrik Hoeth <hendrik.hoeth@cern.ch> Description: Deepak Kar and Rick Field's measurement of the underlying event in Drell- Yan events. Z -> ee and Z -> $\mu\mu$ events are selected using a Z mass window cut between 70 and 110 GeV. ``Toward'', ``away'' and ``transverse'' regions are defined in the same way as in the original (2001) CDF underlying event analysis. The reconstructed Z defines the $\phi$ direction of the toward region. The leptons are ignored after the Z has been reconstructed. Thus the region most sensitive to the underlying event is the toward region (the recoil jet is boosted into the away region). Run details: * ppbar collisions at 1960 GeV. * Drell-Yan events with $Z/\gamma* -> e e$ and $Z/\gamma* -> \mu\mu$. * A mass cut $m_{ll} > 70~\text{GeV}$ can be applied on generator level. * Particles with $c \tau > 10~\text{mm}$ should be set stable.
