Measurements of the forward energy flow and forward jet production with CMS

Abstract

We present measurements of the forward (3 < |eta| < 5) energy flow in minimum bias events and in events with either hard jets or W and Z bosons produced at central rapidities together with first measurements of the inclusive forward jet cross section and central forward jet correlations. Results are compared to MC models with different parameter tunes for the description of the underlying event.Comment: 8 pages, DPF 2011 conference proceeding
