The "hard scattering" contribution to the average number of "transverse" charged particles (PT > 0.5 GeV/c, |eta| < 1) as a function of the transverse momentum of the leading charged jet from HERWIG 5.9, ISAJET 7.32, and PYTHIA 6.115, each with their default parameters and PT(hard) > 3 GeV/c. The Monte-Carlo model predictions have been corrected for the CTC track finding efficiency (8% of the charged tracks are, on the average, removed) and have an uncertainty (statistical plus systematic) of about 5%.
