Summary & Conclusions
However, I believe that the
better fits to the LEP
fragmentation data at high z
will lead to small improvements
Outgoing Parton
of Tune A at the
Tevatron!
 We are making good progress in understanding and modeling the
“underlying event”. RHIC data at 200 GeV are very important!
PT(hard)
Initial-State Radiation
Proton
 The new Pythia pT ordered tunes (py64 S320 and py64 P329)
are very similar to Tune A, Tune AW, and Tune DW. At present
the new tunes do not fit the data better than Tune AW and Tune
DW. However, the new tune are theoretically preferred!

 It is clear now that the default value PARP(90) = 0.16 is
not correct and the value should be closer to the Tune A
value of 0.25.
 The new and old PYTHIA tunes are beginning to
converge and I believe we are finally in a position to make
some legitimate predictions at the LHC!

 All tunes with the default value PARP(90) = 0.16 are
wrong and are overestimating the activity of min-bias and
the underlying event at the LHC! This includes all my
“T” tunes and the ATLAS tunes!
 Need to measure “Min-Bias” and the “underlying
event” at the LHC as soon as possible to see if there is
new QCD physics to be learned!
