Minimum Bias and Underlying Event Measurements with ATLAS

Abstract: A summary of some of the recent minimum bias and underlying event measurements by the ATLAS collaboration is given. The results of several analyses using low-luminosity proton-proton collision data from the LHC taken at center-of-mass energies of sqrt(s) = 0.9, 2.36 and 7 TeV are presented. Data are compared to predictions by several different Monte Carlo event generators. The measurements expose limitations of the phenomenological models in properly describing the measured observables in all regions of phase space.
