Results of Soft-Diffraction at LHCb

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2013-10-09 v1

Abstract

The LHCb detector with its unique pseudorapidity coverage allows to perform soft-QCD measurements in the kinematic forward region where QCD models have large uncertainties. Selected analyses related to soft-Diffraction will be summarised in these proceedings. Energy flow and charged particle multiplicity have been measured separately in different event classes. They give input for modelling the underlying event in pp collisions. Prompt hadron ratios are important for hadronisation models, while the pˉ/p\bar p/p ratio is a good observable to test models of baryon number transport.
