Title: The underlying event in large transverse momentum charged jet and Z-boson production

Conference ·
OSTI ID:772300

The authors study the behavior of the underlying event in large transverse momentum charged jet and Z-boson production at 1.8 TeV and compare with the QCD Monte-Carlo models. The data indicate that neither ISAJET or HERWIG produce enough charged particles (with p{sub T} > 0.5 GeV/c) from the beam-beam remnant component and that ISAJET produces too many charged particle from initial-state radiation. PYTHIA which uses multiple parton scattering to enhance the underlying event does the best job describing the data.
