Description

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, as well as measurements of the inclusive forward jet cross section and of associated production of forward and central jets. The dijet "k-factor", defined as the ratio of the inclusive to the exclusive dijet cross section, is measured as function of rapidity separation. Results are compared to MC models with different parameter tunes for the description of the underlying event and to perturbative QCD calculations, the PYTHIA and HERWIG parton shower event generators, as well as to the CASCADE Monte Carlo
