Abstract
The underlying event in a proton-proton collision consists of multiple-parton interactions and beam remnants, which typically involve low energy scales. The modeling of these aspects of a collision is not always calculable in perturbative quantum chromodynamics, and is governed by phenomenological parameters that need to be "tuned" to observed data. The results of such an underlying-event tuning performed by the CMS experiment for the Pythia 8 and Herwig 7 generators are presented. Various assumptions in the proton parton distribution functions and parton shower development are tested. The derived tunes are validated using data of a wide range of physics processes, and provide a good description of CMS data at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV.

Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and readers, and in "proceeding" format which is more detailed and complete.
