The "Transverse" Region and the "Underlying Event" as Defined by "Calorimeter Jets"


The direction of the leading calorimeter jet (JetClu, R = 0.7) in each event is used to define the "transverse" region of eta-phi space, where eta is the pseudo-rapidity measured along the beam axis and is the azimuthal angle relative to the leading "calorimeter jet".

Only charged particles in the region PT > 0.5 GeV/c and |eta| < 1 are considered, with the leading "calorimeter jet" in the range |eta(jet1)| < 2. The figure below shows the Run 2 data on the average density of charged particles in the "transverse" region define using "calorimeter jets" as a function of the leading "calorimeter jet" transverse energy, ET(jet1), compared with the predictions of PYTHIA Tune A at 1.96 TeV>.
