Soft and diffractive scattering with the cluster model in Herwig

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-04-05 v1

Abstract

We present a new model for soft interactions in the event-generator Herwig. The model consists of two components. One to model diffractive final states on the basis of the cluster hadronization model and a second component that addresses soft multiple interactions as multiple particle production in multi- peripheral kinematics. We present much improved results for minimum-bias measurements at various LHC energies.
