The goal is to produce data (corrected to the particle level) that can be used by the theorists to tune and improve the QCD Monte-Carlo models that are used to simulate hadron-hadron collisions.

“Underlying Event”
The “underlying event” consists of the “beam-beam remnants” and from particles arising from soft or semi-soft multiple parton interactions (MPI).
Of course the outgoing colored partons fragment into hadron “jet” and inevitably “underlying event” observables receive contributions from initial and final-state radiation.
“Jet”
The “underlying event” is an unavoidable background to most collider observables and having good understand of it leads to
more precise collider measurements!

Beam-beam remnants (i.e. soft hard core) produces low multiplicity and small <pT> with <pT> independent of the multiplicity.
Hard scattering (with no MPI) produces large multiplicity and large <pT>.
Hard scattering (with MPI) produces large multiplicity and medium <pT>.
The CDF “min-bias” trigger picks up most of the “hard
core” component!
This observable is sensitive to the MPI tuning!
