Min-bias and the underlying event at the LHC

R Field - arXiv preprint arXiv:1110.5530, 2011 - arxiv.org
In a very short time the experiments at the LHC have collected a large amount of data that
can be used to study minimum bias (MB) collisions and the underlying event (UE) in great …

Early LHC underlying event data-findings and surprises

R Field - arXiv preprint arXiv:1010.3558, 2010 - arxiv.org
The CDF PYTHIA 6.2 Tune DW predictions of the LHC underlying event (UE) data at 900

Forward scattering amplitudes in semi-hard QCD

B Margolis, P Valin, MM Block, F Halzen, RS Fletcher - Physics Letters B, 1988 - Elsevier
We argue that the observation by UA4 of a high energy ρ value (real-to-imaginary ratio of the
forward pp amplitude) in excess of what had been predicted is accommodated by QCD. At …
