Measurements of charged-particle production in pp and p-Pb collisions at √SNN=5.02 TeV s N N = 5.02 TeV in the toward, away and transverse regions are discussed. These three regions are defined event by event relative to the track with the largest transverse momentum (pTtrig p T trig ). The transverse region is sensitive to the underlying event (UE), but it also includes contributions from initial-and final-state radiation (1SR-FSR). Therefore, it is further subdivided in two regions, defined according to their relative multiplicities: trans-max (the sub-transverse region with the larger multiplicity) and trans-min (the sub-transverse region with the smaller multiplicity) regions which have an enhanced sensitivity to ISR-FSR and UE, respectively. KNO-like scaling properties are explored in the three defined regions. Finally, the relationship between pTtrig p T trig and the energy detected in a region close to beam rapidity (very forward energy) is reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
