Abstract:
This article presents a measurement of the underlying event activity, in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of , performed using inclusive Z-boson events () collected by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The analyzed data corresponds to an integrated luminosity of . The Underlying event activity is quantified in terms of charged particle multiplicity and their scalar sum in different topological regions defined with respect to the azimuthal direction of the two muons coming from the decay of the Z-boson. The distributions are unfolded to stable charged-particle level and are compared with prediction from various models at a centre-of-mass energy of , as well as with measurements at a centre-of-mass energy of and by the CDF and CMS experiments.Note:
