The primary goal of this paper is to describe the diffraction production using the model that takes into account the Pomeron interaction, and satisfies both $t$ and $s$ channel unitarity. We hope that these features will allow us to…
I discuss (i) hadron-hadron and photon-hadron total cross-sections, (ii) elastic scattering, (iii) the r\^{o}le of minijets in total cross-sections and the need to include them in Monte-Carlos for small-$x$ structure functions, (iv) how the…
In this paper we consider the soft processes at LHC energies in the framework of the Constituent Quark Model (CQM). We show that this rather naive model is able to describe all available soft data at lower energies and to predict the…
We examine present data for double parton scattering at LHC and discuss their energy dependence from its earliest measurements at the ISR. Different models for the effective cross-section are considered and their behavior studied for a…
We discuss effects of reflective scattering for hadron and heavy nuclei collisions at the LHC and asymptotical energies. It is shown that the reflective scattering might lead to decreasing matter density with energy beyond the LHC energies.…
