Description

Studies of the underlying event in p-p collisions at 0.9, 2.76, and 7 TeV are presented, using leading charged tracks at central rapidities, and the energy density measured at forward rapidities. The results are compared to model predictions, and provide constraints on the tuning of Monte Carlo parameters at the LHC.
