Pileup and underlying event mitigation with iterative constituent subtraction
2019
Abstract The hard-scatter processes in hadronic collisions are often largely contaminated with soft background coming from pileup in proton-proton collisions, or underlying event in heavy-ion collisions. This paper presents a new background subtraction method for jets and event observables (such as missing transverse energy) which is based on the previously published Constituent Subtraction algorithm. The new subtraction method, called Iterative Constituent Subtraction, applies event-wide implementation of Constituent Subtraction iteratively in order to fully equilibrate the background subtraction across the entire event. Besides documenting the new method, we provide guidelines for setting…

Underlying event characteristics and their dependence on jet size of charged-particle jet events inppcollisions at(s)=7 TeVwith the ATLAS detector
2012
Distributions sensitive to the underlying event are studied in events containing one or more charged-particle jets produced in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These measurements reflect 800 inverse microbarns of data taken during 2010. Jets are reconstructed using the antikt algorithm with radius parameter R varying between 0.2 and 1.0. Distributions of the charged-particle multiplicity, the scalar sum of the transverse momentum of charged particles, and the average charged-particle pT are measured as functions of pT^JET in regions transverse to and opposite the leading jet for 4 GeV < pT^JET < 100 GeV. In addition, the R-dependen…
Bremsstrahlung and the underlying event structure
1990
Abstract In this talk we address the problem of the structure of the underlying event and its dependence upon a specific trigger. Generally speaking, events selected without any special trigger, like the minimum bias events, need not have the same characteristics as those selected by the jet trigger or through the W and Z-boson selection criteria. We use perturbative QCD in order to unfold part of the structure. In particular we concentrate on the contribution to the underlying event structure which comes from initial state bremsstrahlung. In the present paper we discuss the relationship between transverse momentum and transverse energy for W and Z-boson production both in the low as well a…
