There are many UE variables. The most important is <ΣpT> in the Transverse Region
That tells you how much (transverse) energy the UE deposits under a jet. It is also more IR safe than <Nch>. Note: “soft” models can have problems with UE 900 GeV 7 TeV Leading Track/Jet Recoil Jet Underlying Event Δφ
