This paper describes tunes of QCD Monte-Carlos for the LHC. It gives an overview over unconstrained model parameters relevant for the LHC and the measured observables used to constrain them. The most commonly used tunes to these observables are described and the remaining model uncertainty is addressed. The tuned MC models are validated against a large variety of data to check their universality. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
