The MC generator Djangoh, with SCI and MEPS, reproduces quite well the dependence of b on xL, although the mean values of the slope are lower than those measured. In the other MC models, the value of the slope is consistent with the measurements only at high xL.

Simple remnants
Assume one parton kicked out of proton, in pp (or DIS):
1 Kick outvalence quark: colour triplet diquark left,
⇒ single stringstretched out from beam remnant.
2 Kick outgluon: colour octet q1q2q3 remnant left
⇒ split momentum between two strings, one to q1q2 antitriplet and one to q3 triplet.
3 Kick outsea antiquark q4: colour triplet q1q2q3q4 remains,
⇒ split momentum between B = q1q2q4 singlet andstring to q3 triplet.
4 Kick outsea quarkq4: colour antitriplet q1q2q3q4 remains,
⇒ split momentum between M = q1q4 singlet andstring to q2q3 antitriplet.

An event consists of many different physics steps to be modelled:

Junctions and the baryon number
A proton can be visualized as a Y-shaped topology, with a valence quark at the end of each leg and a junction in the middle.
Two valence quarks can be kicked out if two or more MPIs.

The junction then can be shifted in towards center of event, carrying the baryon number and baryon production with it.

Figure 10: Examples of the formation of composite objects in a baryon beam remnant: (a) diquark, (b) baryon and (c) meson.
2. Composite objects may be formed, but only when all partons involved in the formation are valence quarks.
3. The formation of diquarks may involve both valence and sea quarks, but the formation of colour singlet subsystems (i.e. hadrons) is still restricted to involve valence quarks only.
4. Sea quarks may also be used for colour singlet formation.
The idea is thus that (spectator) valence quarks tend to have comparable velocities, while sea quarks can be more spread out and therefore are less likely to form low-mass systems.
Whether composite systems in the beam remnant are formed or not has important consequences for the baryon number flow. For pp collisions at 1.8 TeV CM energy, we show in Fig. 11 the Feynman x (left plot) and rapidity (right plot) distributions for the baryon which ‘inherits’ the beam baryon number. We denote this baryon the ‘junction baryon’. To better illustrate what happens to each of the two initial beam baryon numbers separately, only distributions for the junction baryon, not anti baryon, are shown. Possibilities 1 and 2 above are compared with the old multiple interactions model (Tune A). One immediately observes that the beam baryon number migrates in a radically different way when diquark formation is allowed or not (compare the dashed and dotted sets of curves). In fact, in the new model it is not possible to reproduce the old distribution (compare the solid curve).
This comes about since, even when all possible diquark formation is allowed in the new model, it is not certain that the beam remnant actually contains the necessary quark content, hence in some fraction of the events the formation of a beam remnant diquark is simply not possible. Here is thus an example where the introduction of more physics into the model has given rise to a qualitatively different expectation: the beam baryon number appears to be stopped to a larger extent than would previously have been expected.

Need to model:
Flavour content of remnant; also valence vs. sea/companion Colour structure of partons; including junctions and CR Longitudinal sharing of momenta
Transverse sharing of momenta — primordial k⊥ (nontrivially relates to low-p⊥ ISR handling)

Torbj¨orn Sj¨ostrand Forward Physics in PYTHIA 8 slide 21/30
Summary
Forward physics is extensively modelled in PYTHIA . . . . . . but little tested, and rather constrained,
e.g. central MPI activity⇒ possible remnant structures.
Action list:
Gather existing data, implement in RIVET analyses Compare DIS and pp forward spectra
Find way that gives more forward protons?
(P. Ed´en, G. Gustafson, Z.Phys.C75 (1997) 41, “curtain quarks”?) Compare rate of different forward baryons (p, n, Λ, . . . ) and mesons (π+,π−,K0S, . . . )
Correlate flavour, y/xF and p⊥ for leading vs. second-leading particle. Consistent with single or multiple strings?
Correlate central and forward activity
Develop and implement new physics mechanisms?

Backup: How does the string break?
String breaking modelled by tunneling:
P ∝ exp −πm2⊥q κ

= exp −πp⊥q2 κ

• Common Gaussian p⊥ spectrum, hp⊥i ≈ 0.4 GeV.
• Suppression of heavy quarks,
uu : dd : ss : cc≈ 1 : 1 : 0.3 : 10−11.
• Diquark ∼ antiquark ⇒ simple model for baryon production.
Extended by popcorn model: consecutive qq pair production

Backup: MPIs in PYTHIA
MPIs are gererated in a falling sequence of p⊥ values;
recall Sudakov factor approach to parton showers.
Core process QCD 2→ 2, but also onia,γ’s, Z0, W±. Energy, momentum and flavour conservedstep by step:
subtracted from proton by all “previous” collisions.
Protons modelled as extended objects, allowing both central and peripheral collisions, with more or less activity.
Colour screening increases with energy, i.e. p⊥0 = p⊥0(Ecm), as more and more partons can interact.
Colour connections: each interaction hooks up with colours from beam remnants, but also correlations inside remnants.
Colour reconnections: many interaction “on top of” each other ⇒ tightly packed partons ⇒ colour memory loss?

Backup: Interleaved evolution in PYTHIA
• Transverse-momentum-ordered parton showers for ISR and FSR
• MPI also ordered in p⊥
⇒ Allows interleaved evolution for ISR, FSR and MPI:
dP dp⊥ =
dPMPI
dp⊥ +XdPISR
dp⊥ +XdPFSR
dp⊥
× exp
−
Z p⊥max p⊥
dPMPI
dp0⊥ +XdPISR
dp0⊥ +XdPFSR
dp0⊥
dp⊥0
Ordered in decreasing p⊥ using “Sudakov” trick.
Corresponds to increasing “resolution”:
smaller p⊥ fill in details of basic picture set at larger p⊥. Start from fixed hard interaction ⇒ underlying event No separate hard interaction ⇒ minbias events Possible to choose two hard interactions, e.g. W−W−
