CDF Published

PYTHIA regulates the perturbative 2-to-2 parton-parton cross sections with cut-off parameters which allows one to run with PT(hard) > 0. One can simulate both “hard” and “soft” collisions in one program.

The relative amount of “hard” versus “soft” depends on the cut-off and can be tuned.

Using Pile-Up to Study Min-BiasUsing Pile-Up to Study Min-Bias

The primary vertex is the highest PTsum of charged particles pointing towards it.

Proton AntiProton

60 cm

Primary

Normally one only includes those charged particles which point back to the primary vertex.

Pile-Up

However, the primary vertex is presumably the collision that satisfied the trigger and is hence biased.

Perhaps the pile-up is not biases and can serve as a new type of “Min-Bias” collisions.

This assumes that the pile-up is not affected by the trigger (i.e. it is the same for all primary processes).

see depends on what you trigger on! Every trigger produces some biases.

This will depend on the Min-Bias Trigger!

Very preliminary results seem to show that pile-up conspires to help give you what you ask for (i.e. satisfy your “trigger” or your event selection)!

If true this means the pile-up is not the same for all processes. It is process (i.e. trigger) dependent! I must double check my analysis

and get it “blessed” before you can trust what I have shown!
