Accounting for soft cross sections at the LHC

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We describe briefly the elements of the GLM model that successfully describes soft hadronic interactions at energies from ISR to LHC. This model is based on a single Pomeron with a large intercept Δ = 0.23 and slope α′ = 0, and so provides a natural matching with perturbative QCD. We summarize themain features and results of competing models for soft interactions at LHC energies.
