  1. A<sc>bstract</sc> Measurements of charged-particle production in pp, p–Pb, and Pb–Pb collisions in the toward, away, and transverse regions with the ALICE detector are discussed. These regions are defined event-by-event relative to the azimuthal direction of the charged trigger particle, which is the reconstructed particle with the largest transverse momentum$$ \left({p}_{\textrm{T}}^{\textrm{trig}}\right) $$ p T trig in the range 8<$$ {p}_{\textrm{T}}^{\textrm{trig}} $$ p T trig <15 GeV/c. The toward and away regions contain the primary and recoil jets, respectively; both regions are accompanied by the underlying event (UE). In contrast, the transverse region perpendicular to the direction of the trigger particle is dominated by the so-called UE dynamics, and includes also contributions from initial- and final-state radiation. The relative transverse activity classifier,$$ {R}_{\textrm{T}}={N}_{\textrm{ch}}^{\textrm{T}}/\left\langle {N}_{\textrm{ch}}^{\textrm{T}}\right\rangle $$ R T = N ch T / N ch T , is used to group events according to their UE activity, where$$ {N}_{\textrm{ch}}^{\textrm{T}} $$ N ch T is the charged-particle multiplicity per event in the transverse region and$$ \left\langle {N}_{\textrm{ch}}^{\textrm{T}}\right\rangle $$ N ch T is the mean value over the whole analysed sample. The energy dependence of theRTdistributions in pp collisions at$$ \sqrt{s} $$ s = 2.76, 5.02, 7, and 13 TeV is reported, exploring the Koba-Nielsen-Olesen (KNO) scaling properties of the multiplicity distributions. The first measurements of charged-particlepTspectra as a function ofRTin the three azimuthal regions in pp, p–Pb, and Pb–Pb collisions at$$ \sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} $$ s NN = 5.02 TeV are also reported. Data are compared with predictions obtained from the event generators PYTHIA 8 and EPOS LHC. This set of measurements is expected to contribute to the understanding of the origin of collective-like effects in small collision systems (pp and p–Pb).
