We present an updated set of parameters for the PYTHIA 8 event generator. We reevaluate the constraints imposed by LEP and SLD on hadronization, in particular with regard to heavy-quark fragmentation and strangeness production. For hadron…
Event generators like Pythia play an important role in physics studies at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). While they make accurate predictions in the central region, i.e. at pseudorapidities $\eta<5$, a disagreement between Pythia and…
We present parameter sets corresponding to new underlying event tunes for the Herwig7.3 Monte Carlo event generator. The existing Herwig tunes are in good agreement with LHC data, however, they are not typically designed for center-of-mass…
The majority of Monte-Carlo (MC) simulation campaigns for future $e^+e^-$ colliders has so far been based on the leading-order (LO) matrix elements provided by Whizard 1.95, followed by parton shower and hadronization in Pythia6, using the…
New sets of CMS underlying-event parameters ("tunes") are presented for the PYTHIA8 event generator. These tunes use the NNPDF3.1 parton distribution functions (PDFs) at leading (LO), next-to-leading (NLO), or next-to-next-to-leading (NNLO)…
We present a sequential nine-parameter retune of PYTHIA 8.316, built on the Monash 2013 baseline, for soft-QCD observables in proton--proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=0.9$--$13$ TeV. The tune is constructed with direct generator evaluation…

We study the behavior of the charged particle and energy components of the "underlying event" in hard scattering proton-antiproton collisions at 1.96TeV. The goal is to produce data on the "underlying event" that is corrected to the…
