Description |
In order to find physics beyond the Stan- dard Model at a hadron-hadron collider, it is essential to have Monte-Carlo models that accurately simulate the complete events recorded in the experiment. To do this one must not only have an accurate prediction of the hard-scattering part of the process, but also a good model for the soft, underlying event (UE) ac- tivity which mainly consists of beam-beam remnants (BBR) and the multiple parton interactions (MPI). A good understanding of the UE at LHC is essential for searches as well as for precise measurements. The topological structure of collision events can be used to define physics observables which are very sensitive to the UE. From recent studies at CMS it is found that extrapolation of the description of UE from Tevatron experiments does not describe the LHC data. The measurement of .Underlying Events. using leading track-jet and Drell-Yan process in CMS experiment will be discussed. |
