  1. The Underlying Event inHard Scattering Processes The Underlying Event: beam-beam remnants initial-state radiation multiple-parton interactions • The underlying event in a hard scattering process is a complicated and not very well understood object. It is an interesting region since it probes the interface between perturbative and non-perturbative physics. • There are two CDF analyses which quantitatively study the underlying event and compare with the QCD Monte-Carlo models. • It is important to model this region well since it is an unavoidable background to all collider observables. Also, we need a good model of min-bias (zero-bias) collisions.

  2. Beam-Beam Remnants • The underlying event in a hard scattering process has a “hard” component (particles that arise from initial & final-state radiation and from the outgoing hard scattered partons) and a “soft” component (beam-beam remnants). • However the “soft” component is color connected to the “hard” component so this separation is (at best) an approximation. Min-Bias? • For ISAJET (no color flow) the “soft” and “hard” components are completely independent and the model for the beam-beam remnant component is the same as for min-bias (“cut pomeron”) but with a larger <PT>. • HERWIG breaks the color connection with a soft q-qbar pair and then models the beam-beam remnant component the same as HERWIG min-bias (cluster decay). Rick Field - Florida/CDF

  3. Multiple Parton Interactions • PYTHIA models the “soft” component of the underlying event with color string fragmentation, but in addition includes a contribution arising from multiple parton interactions (MPI) in which one interaction is hard and the other is “semi-hard”. • The probability that a hard scattering events also contains a semi-hard multiple parton interaction can be varied but adjusting the cut-off for the MPI. • One can also adjust whether the probability of a MPI depends on the PT of the hard scattering, PT(hard) (constant cross section or varying with impact parameter). • One can adjust the color connections and flavor of the MPI (singlet or nearest neighbor, q-qbar or glue-glue). • Also, one can adjust how the probability of a MPI depends on PT(hard) (single or double Gaussian matter distribution).

  4. WYSIWYG: Comparing Datawith QCD Monte-Carlo Models Charged Particle Data QCD Monte-Carlo WYSIWYG What you see is what you get. Almost! • Zero or one vertex • |zc-zv| < 2 cm, |CTC d0| < 1 cm • Require PT > 0.5 GeV, |h| < 1 • Assume a uniform track finding efficiency of 92% • Errors include both statistical and correlated systematic uncertainties Select “clean” region Make efficiency corrections Look only at the charged particles measured by the CTC. • Require PT > 0.5 GeV, |h| < 1 • Make an 8% correction for the track finding efficiency • Errors (statistical plus systematic) of around 5% compare Small Corrections! Corrected theory Uncorrected data Rick Field - Florida/CDF

  5. Charged Particle DfCorrelations • Look at charged particle correlations in the azimuthal angle Df relative to the leading charged particle jet. • Define |Df| < 60o as “Toward”, 60o < |Df| < 120o as “Transverse”, and |Df| > 120o as “Away”. • All three regions have the same size in h-f space, DhxDf = 2x120o = 4p/3. Rick Field - Florida/CDF

  6. Charged Multiplicity versus PT(chgjet#1) • Data on the average number of “toward” (|Df|<60o), “transverse” (60<|Df|<120o), and “away” (|Df|>120o) charged particles (PT > 0.5 GeV, |h| < 1, including jet#1) as a function of the transverse momentum of the leading charged particle jet. Each point corresponds to the <Nchg> in a 1 GeV bin. The solid (open) points are the Min-Bias (JET20) data. The errors on the (uncorrected) data include both statistical and correlated systematic uncertainties. Underlying Event “plateau” Rick Field - Florida/CDF

  43. The Underlying Event:Summary & Conclusions • Combining the two CDF analyses gives a quantitative study of the underlying event from very soft collisions to very hard collisions. • ISAJET (with independent fragmentation) produces too many (soft) particles in the underlying event with the wrong dependence on PT(jet#1). HERWIG and PYTHIA modify the leading-log picture to include “color coherence effects” which leads to “angle ordering” within the parton shower and do a better job describing the underlying event. • Both ISAJET and HERWIG have the too steep of a PT dependence of the beam-beam remnant component of the underlying event and hence do not have enough beam-beam remnants with PT > 0.5 GeV/c. • PYTHIA (with multiple parton interactions) does the best job in describing the underlying event. • Perhaps the multiple parton interaction approach is correct or maybe we simply need to improve the way the Monte-Carlo models handle the beam-beam remnants (or both!). The “Underlying Event” Rick Field - Florida/CDF

  44. Multiple Parton Interactions:Summary & Conclusions • The increased activity in the underlying event in a hard scattering over a soft collision cannot be explained by initial-state radiation. • Multiple parton interactions gives a natural way of explaining the increased activity in the underlying event in a hard scattering. A hard scattering is more likely to occur when the hard cores overlap and this is also when the probability of a multiple parton interaction is greatest. For a soft grazing collision the probability of a multiple parton interaction is small. • PYTHIA (with varying impact parameter) describes the underlying event data fairly well. However, there are problems in fitting min-bias events with this approach. • Multiple parton interactions are very sensitive to the parton structure functions. You must first decide on a particular PDF and then tune the multiple parton interactions to fit the data. Multiple Parton Interactions Proton AntiProton Hard Core Hard Core Slow!
