title = "Underlying event measurements in p+p collisions at s =200 GeV at RHIC",
abstract = "Particle production sensitive to nonfactorizable and nonperturbative processes that contribute to the underlying event associated with a high transverse momentum (pT) jet in proton+proton collisions at s=200 GeV is studied with the STAR detector. Each event is divided into three regions based on the azimuthal angle with respect to the highest-pT jet direction: In the leading jet direction ({"}Toward{"}), opposite to the leading jet ({"}Away{"}), and perpendicular to the leading jet ({"}Transverse{"}). In the Transverse region, the average charged particle density is found to be between 0.4 and 0.6",

Both average particle density and {\textcopyright} depend weakly on the leading jet pT. Closer inspection of the Transverse region hints that contributions to the underlying event from initial- A nd final-state radiation are significantly smaller in these collisions than at the higher energies, up to 13 TeV, recorded at the LHC. Underlying event measurements associated with a high-pT jet will contribute to our understanding of QCD processes at hard and soft scales at RHIC energies, as well as provide constraints to modeling of underlying event dynamics. {\textcopyright} 2020 American Physical Society.",
