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%.
