Underlying event and minimum bias

Ongoing Projects:

• Describing the Underlying Event and Minimum Bias Interactions (Arthur Moraes)
• Min-Bias and the Underlying Event in Run 2 at CDF (Rick Field)

Other proposed subtopics:

• Inventory of models
  (What models are there, how are they related, where do they work and not?)
• Photoproduction vs pp
  (What have we learned from HERA, and how can we use that knowledge?)
• Predictions for the LHC
  (Are they reliable, do they agree?)
• Underlying events in DIS
  (Is it there, can we learn from it?)
• Perturbative vs. non-perturbative
  (Clearly rather soft processes at HERA/Tevatron, what about the LHC? If perturbative, should we use kt- or collinear factorization?)
• Finding good observables
  (Jet pedistals, multiplicity fluctuations, etc. what else?)
