- We present measurements of Underlying Event observables in pp collisions at root s = 0 : 9 and 7 TeV. The analysis is performed as a function of the highest charged-particle transverse momentum p(T),L-T in the event. Different regions are defined with respect to the azimuthal direction of the leading (highest transverse momentum) track: Toward, Transverse and Away. The Toward and Away regions collect the fragmentation products of the hardest partonic interaction. The Transverse region is expected to be most sensitive to the Underlying Event activity. The study is performed with charged particles above three different p(T) thresholds: 0.15, 0.5 and 1.0 GeV/c. In the Transverse region we observe an increase in the multiplicity of a factor 2-3 between the lower and higher collision energies, depending on the track p(T) threshold considered. Data are compared to PYTHIA 6.4, PYTHIA 8.1 and PHOJET. On average, all models considered underestimate the multiplicity and summed p(T) in the Transverse region by about 10-30%.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This report follows on from last year's "Progress Report 2004-2006" and gives an update on the continuing activities, such as the 4M Network cross-divisional projects and annual conference, as well as a description of the new activities in its third and forth year, such as the first 4M Summer School and Book Series. Finally, as the end of the funded lifetime of the network approaches the steps being taken to set up a 4M Association, which aims to create the organizational infrastructure to support the 4M Knowledge Community established in the last five years, are described.

How reliable are surface roughness measurements of micro-features? : Experiences of a Round Robin test within nine 4M laboratories
- 2008

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Surface roughness of tiny micro machined features is not easy to verify. The statistical variation of the surface itself can be the limiting factor that hampers tolerance verification. In this paper we have studied this effect and we also test the performance of 10 different surface profilers over a very well specified surface area. For this area 6 profilers yielded the same result within a standard deviation window of ±6%. For other areas, on top of narrow bars and in narrow and deep channels, a much larger spread in the Round Robin results were found.

Application of different process chains for polymer microfluidics fabrication including hybrid tooling technologies, standardization and replication : a benchmark investigation within 4M Polymer Division
- 2007

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper is based on the Division 4 “Processing of Polymers” activities within the 4M NoE “Multi-Material Micro Manufacturing”. To overpass limitations of the current existing micro tooling capabilities, a new generation of micro hybrid tooling technologies for micro replication was developed. A metrological approach was applied to standardize the employed tooling processes (μ-milling, μ-EDM, laser μ-machining, electrochemical μ-milling). The micro tools were then tested with different polymers. The paper provides a comparison of these technologies concerning obtainable feature sizes, surface finishing, and aspect ratios of both micro tools and micro moulded parts.
