What is minimum bias?
≈ “all events, with no bias from restricted trigger conditions”
σtot = σelastic+σsingle−diffractive+σdouble−diffractive+. . .+σnon−diffractive
y dn/dy
reality: σmin−bias ≈ σnon−diffractive+σdouble−diffractive ≈ 2/3 × σtot
What is underlying event?
y dn/dy
underlying event jet
pedestal height
What is multiple interactions?
Cross section for 2 → 2 interactions is dominated by t-channel gluon exchange, so diverges like dˆσ/dp2⊥ ≈ 1/p4⊥ for p⊥ → 0.

where p⊥min or p⊥0 are free parameters, empirically of order 2 GeV
Typically 2 – 3 interactions/event at the Tevatron, 4 – 5 at the LHC, but may be more
in “interesting” high-p⊥ ones.
Basic generation of multiple interactions
• For now exclude diffractive (and elastic) topologies,
i.e. only model nondiffractive events, with σnd ≃ 0.6 × σtot
• Differential probability for interaction at p⊥ is dP
dp⊥ = 1 σnd
dσ dp⊥
• Average number of interactions naively hni = 1
σnd
Z Ecm/2 0
dσ
dp⊥ dp⊥
• Require ≥ 1 interaction in an event
or else pass through without anything happening
P≥1 = 1 − P0 = 1 − exp(−hni) (Alternatively: allow soft nonperturbative interactions even if no perturbative ones.)
Can pick n from Poissonian and then generate n independent interactions according to dσ/dp⊥ (so long as energy left), or better. . .
. . . generate interactions in ordered sequence p⊥1 > p⊥2 > p⊥3 > . . .
• recall “Sudakov” trick used e.g. for parton showers:
if probability for something to happen at “time” t is P (t)
and happenings are uncorrelated in time (Poissonian statistics) then the probability for a first happening after 0 at t1 is
P(t1) = P (t1) exp

and for an i’th at ti is

• Use rescaled PDF’s taking into account already used momentum

Impact parameter dependence
So far assumed that all collisions have equivalent initial conditions, but hadrons are extended,
e.g. empirical double Gaussian:
ρmatter(r) = N1 exp −r2 r21
!
+ N2 exp −r2 r22
!
where r2 6= r1 represents “hot spots”, and overlap of hadrons during collision is
O(b) =

d3x dt ρboosted1,matter(x, t)ρboosted2,matter(x, t) or electromagnetic form factor:
Sp(b) =

• Events are distributed in impact parameter b
• Average activity at b proportional to O(b)
⋆ central collisions more active ⇒ Pn broader than Poissonian
⋆ peripheral passages normally give no collisions at all ⇒ finite σtot
• Also crucial for pedestal effect (more later)
PYTHIA implementation
(1) Simple scenario (1985):
first model for event properties based on perturbative multiple interactions no longer used (no impact-parameter dependence)
(2) Impact-parameter-dependence (1987):
still in frequent use (Tune A, Tune DWT, ATLAS tune, . . . )
• double Gaussian matter distribution,
• interactions ordered in decreasing p⊥,
• PDF’s rescaled for momentum conservation,
• but no showers for subsequent interactions and simplified flavours (3) Improved handling of PDFs and beam remnants (2004)
• Trace flavour content of remnant, including baryon number (junction)

• Study colour (re)arrangement
among outgoing partons (ongoing!)
• Allow radiation for all interactions
(4) Evolution interleaved with ISR (2004)

• Distribute a (∼ negative binomial) number of clusters independently in rapidity and transverse momentum according to parametrization/extrapolation of data
• modify for overall energy/momentum/flavour conservation
• no minijets; correlations only by cluster decays
(2) Jimmy (1995; HERWIG add-on; part of HERWIG++)
• only model of underlying event, not of minimum bias
• similar to PYTHIA (2) above; but details different
• matter profile by electromagnetic form factor (with tuned size)
• no p⊥-ordering of emissions, no rescaling of PDF:
abrupt stop when (if) run out of energy (3) Ivan (2002, code not public; in progress)
• also handles minimum bias
• soft and hard multiple interactions together fill whole p⊥ range
SHERPA implementation
(1) Conventional approach (2005)
• Based on formalism of PYTHIA (2) but
• Full showers for all interactions, with CKKW matching (2) k⊥-factorization-based approach (2007)
• unintegrated PDFs and off-shell matrix elements
• consistent with BFKL evolution (small x)
• combination with multiple interactions in progress
PhoJet (& relatives) implementation
(1) Cut Pomeron (1982)
• Pomeron predates QCD; nowadays ∼ glueball tower
• Optical theorem relates σtotal and σelastic
∝
2
⇒
• Unified framework of nondiffractive and diffractive interactions
• Purely low-p⊥: only primordial k⊥ fluctuations
• Usually simple Gaussian matter distribution (2) Extension to large p⊥ (1990)
• distinguish soft and hard Pomerons (cf. Ivan):
soft = nonperturbative, low-p⊥, as above hard = perturbative, “high”-p⊥
• hard based on PYTHIA code, with lower cutoff in p⊥
without multiple interactions
with multiple interactions
Direct observation of multiple interactions

but big errors ⇒ low acceptance, also UA2
Figure 1: S distribution for 1VTX data (points). The DP component to the data, determined by the two-dataset method to be 52.6% of the sample, is shown as the shaded region (the shape is taken from MIXDP). Also shown is the admixture 52.6% MIXDP + 47.4% PYTHIA, normalized to the data (line).

Jet pedestal effect
Events with hard scale (jet, W/Z, . . . ) have more underlying activity!
Events with n interactions have n chances that one of them is hard, so “trigger bias”: hard scale ⇒ central collision
⇒ more interactions ⇒ larger underlying activity.
Centrality effect saturates at p⊥hard ∼ 10 GeV.

“Leading Jet” and “Back-to-Back” events with 30 < ET(jet#1) < 70 GeV compared with
“min-bias” collisions.

¨ Look at the <pT> of particles in the “transverse” region (pT > 0.5 GeV/c, |K| < 1) versus the number of particles in the “transverse” region: <pT> vs Nchg.

Extrapolation to LHC
Energy dependence of p⊥min and p⊥0:
Larger collision energy
⇒ probe parton (≈ gluon) density at smaller x
⇒ smaller colour screening length d
⇒ larger p⊥min or p⊥0 Post-HERA PDF fits steeper at small x
⇒ stronger energy dependence
Current PYTHIA 8 default, tied to CTEQ 5L, is p⊥0(s) = 2.15 GeV s

Multiple Interactions Outlook
Issues requiring further thought and study:
• Multi-parton PDF’s fa1a2a3···(x1, Q21, x2, Q22, x3, Q23, . . .)
• Close-packing in initial state, especially small x
• Impact-parameter picture and (x, b) correlations
e.g. large-x partons more central!, valence quarks more central?
• Details of colour-screening mechanism
• Rescattering: one parton scattering several times
• Intertwining: one parton splits in two that scatter separately
• Colour sharing: two FS–IS dipoles become one FS–FS one
• Colour reconnection: required for hp⊥i(ncharged)
• Collective effects (e.g. QGP, cf. Hadronization above)
• Relation to diffraction: eikonalization, multi-gap topologies, . . .
Action items:
• Vigorous experimental program at LHC
• Study energy dependence: RHIC (pp) → Tevatron → LHC
• Develop new frameworks and refine existing ones Much work ahead!

Welcome to the first International Workshop on Multiple Partonic Interactions at the LHC "1st MPI@LHC".
The objective of this first workshop on Multiple Partonic Interactions (MPI) at the LHC is to raise the profile of MPI studies, summarizing the legacy from the older phenomenology at hadronic colliders and favouring further specific
contacts between the theory and experimental communities. The MPI are experiencing a growing popularity and are currently widely invoked to account for observations that would not be explained otherwise: the activity
of the Underlying Event, the cross sections for multiple heavy flavour production, the survival probability of large rapidity gaps in hard diffraction,
etc. At the same time, the implementation of the MPI effects in the Monte Carlo models is quickly proceeding through an increasing level of sophistication and complexity that in perspective achieves deep general implications for the LHC physics. The ultimate ambition of this workshop is to
promote the MPI as unification concept between seemingly heterogeneous research lines and to profit of the complete experimental picture in order to constrain their implementation in the models, evaluating the spin offs on the
LHC physics program.
