We present 9 new tunes of the pT-ordered shower and underlying-event model in PYTHIA 6.4. These "Perugia" tunes update and supersede the older "S0" family. The data sets used to constrain the models include hadronic Z0 decays at LEP, Tevatron minimum-bias data at 630, 1800, and 1960 GeV, Tevatron Drell-Yan data at 1800 and 1960 GeV, and SPS min-bias data at 200, 546, and 900 GeV. In addition to the central parameter set, called "Perugia 0", we introduce a set of 8 related "Perugia Variations" that attempt to systematically explore soft, hard, parton density, and colour structure variations in the theoretical parameters. Based on these variations, a best-guess prediction of the charged track multiplicity in inelastic, nondiffractive minimum-bias events at the LHC is made. Note that these tunes can only be used with PYTHIA 6, not with PYTHIA 8. Note: this report was updated in March 2011 with a new set of variations, collectively labeled "Perugia 2011", that are optimized for matching applications and which also take into account some lessons from the early LHC data. In order not to break the original text, these are described separately in Appendix B. Note 2: a subsequent "Perugia 2012" update is described in Appendix C.

  1. Probing flavor effects in the QCD parton shower using $\mathbf{{\rm D}^0}$-tagged jet angularities in proton$-$proton collisions at $\mathbf{ \sqrt{s} = 5.02}$ TeV

    nucl-ex 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    First measurement of D0-tagged jet angularities in pp collisions at 5.02 TeV shows smaller values at low angular weight, consistent with the QCD dead-cone effect for massive quarks.

  2. Probing jet evolution with charged energy correlators in small systems

    nucl-ex 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Charged energy correlators measured in jets at the LHC show like-sign pairs sensitive to parton shower models and unlike-sign pairs sensitive to hadronization, with charge-independent cold nuclear matter effects in p-...

  3. Measurement of $\phi$ meson production in p+p interactions at 40, 80 and 158 GeV/c with the NA61/SHINE spectrometer at the CERN SPS

    nucl-ex 2019-08 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    NA61/SHINE measured the first double-differential phi meson spectra in p+p collisions at 80 and 158 GeV/c and single-differential spectra at 40 GeV/c, finding that none of the tested models describes all observables.

  4. Description of di-hadron saturation signals within a universal nuclear parton distribution function approach

    nucl-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Modern nuclear PDF sets can explain most of the forward di-hadron and di-jet suppression in p+A collisions without invoking gluon saturation, and naturally predict an unchanged azimuthal width.

    hep-ex 2024-12 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    New ATLAS measurements of W+jet production with leading-jet transverse momentum above 500 GeV, including a new collinear phase space, are largely described by NLO multi-leg generators and NNLO MCFM, with MCFM undersho...

  6. System size and energy dependence of the mean transverse momentum fluctuations at the LHC

    nucl-ex 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    ALICE reports the system-size and energy dependence of mean transverse momentum fluctuations at the LHC, including a new spherocity-dependent measurement in proton-proton collisions.

  7. Measurement of $\Lambda$(1520) production in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV

    nucl-ex 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Lambda(1520) resonance is measured in pp and p-Pb collisions; its yield relative to Lambda stays constant with multiplicity and its pT shape matches a Blast-Wave prediction.

  8. Multiplicity dependence of (multi-)strange hadron production in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    nucl-ex 2019-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Strange hadron yields in 13 TeV pp collisions rise faster than charged-particle multiplicity, increasingly so with strangeness content, and appear to scale with midrapidity multiplicity across energies.

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Lund string model tune inside Herwig 7, the LH Tune, gives competitive descriptions of many LEP and LHC observables and enables fixed-shower comparison of string vs cluster hadronization.

    hep-ex 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    New STAR double-spin asymmetry data for dijets at intermediate pseudorapidity favor positive gluon polarization and disfavor the JAM22 negative solution by 3.5 sigma.

    No evidence for displaced dark-photon jets is found, and 95% confidence limits exclude cross sections above about 4 pb for H to two dark photons with decay lengths from 1.5 mm to 307 mm.

    ATLAS presents single- and double-differential top-quark pair cross-sections in the l+jets channel at 13 TeV, finding good overall agreement with predictions but tensions in boosted high-pT tails.
