CMS Underlying Event and Double Parton Scattering Monte Carlo Tunes

Three new PYTHIA 8 underlying event (UE) tunes are presented, one using the CTEQ6L1 parton distribution function (PDF), one using HERAPDF1.5LO, and one using the NNPDF2.3LO PDF; two new PYTHIA 6 UE tunes, one for the CTEQ6L1 PDF and one for the HERAPDF1.5LO, and one new HERWIG++ UE tune for the CTEQ6L1 PDF are also available. Simultaneous fits to CDF UE data at center-of-mass energies of 0.3, 0.9, and 1.96 TeV, together with CMS UE data at 7 TeV, check the UE models and constrain their parameters, providing thereby more precise predictions for proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV. In addition, several new double parton scattering (DPS) tunes are examined in order to investigate if the values of the parameters from fits to UE observables are consistent with the values determined from fitting DPS-sensitive observables. It is also examined how well the new UE tunes predict minimum bias (MB) events, jet, and Drell-Yan observables, as well as MB and UE observables at 13 TeV.
