Abstract

In the context of design studies for future pppp colliders, we present a set of predictions for average soft-QCD event properties for pppp collisions at ECM=14E_\mathrm{CM} = 14, 2727, and 100100 TeV. The current default Monash 2013 tune of the PYTHIA 8.2 event generator is used as the baseline for the extrapolations, with uncertainties evaluated via variations of cross-section parametrisations, PDFs, MPI energy-scaling parameters, and colour-reconnection modelling, subject to current LHC constraints. The observables included in the study are total and inelastic cross sections, inelastic average energy and track densities per unit pseudorapidity (inside η6|\eta|\le 6), average track pp_\perp, and jet cross sections for 50- and 100-GeV anti-kTk_T jets with ΔR=0.4\Delta R=0.4, using aMC@NLO in conjunction with PYTHIA 8 for the latter.
