Measurement of the Underlying Event at Tevatron

Abstract

CDF Run II data for the underlying event associated with Drell-Yan lepton pair production are examined as a function of the lepton-pair transverse momentum. The data are compared with a previous analysis on the behavior of the underlying event in high transverse momentum jet production and also with several other QCD Monte-Carlo models. The goal is to provide data that can be used to tune and improve the QCD Monte-Carlo models of the underlying event, which is especially important now in view of the LHC startup.
