A method for tuning parameters of Monte Carlo generators and a its application to the determination of the unintegrated gluon density

Understand

A method for tuning parameters in Monte Carlo generators is described and applied to a specific case.

• The method works in the following way: each observable is generated several times using different values of the parameters to be tuned.
• The output is then approximated by some analytic form to describe the dependence of the observables on the parameters.
• This approximation is used to find the values of the parameter that give the best description of the experimental data.
