In this talk, I review progress in experimental QCD in the last year, concentrating on the results and phenomenology of the first year of running of the LHC.
We present latest results of soft and small-x QCD measurements with the CMS experiment, such as minimum bias/underlying event physics, and studies on forward jet production.
Experimental studies of soft Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at Tevatron are reported in this note. Results on inclusive inelastic interactions, underlying events, double parton interaction and exclusive diffractive production and their…
Soft QCD is beyond perturbative control, and therefore phenomenological models have to be developed. These are implemented and combined within event generators. Typical aspects considered are multiparton interactions, colour reconnection,…
Soft quantum chromodynamics (QCD) measurements play an important role in fundamental QCD studies as well as in tuning of corresponding Monte Carlo generator models for a good description of experimental data. Recent results of soft QCD…
Existing data on total cross sections, on elastic scattering at small, moderate and large values of $t$, and on diffraction dissociation, reveal a surprisingly simple phenomenology, but they throw up many questions for the LHC to answer.
We review the latest underlying event and minimum bias results and discuss the associated problematics with the idea of establishing a solid baseline for the LHC experiments. These measurements include study of the underlying event in…
The ATLAS and CMS Collaborations have measured properties of minimum bias events and have determined characteristics of the underlying event in proton-proton collisions at three LHC centre-of-mass energies. Comparisons to common…
Soft QCD contributes to all observables at the LHC, due to the presences of underlying event (UE) and pile-up in all events. Both these processes are dominated by multi-parton interactions (MPI), i.e. the result of proton collisions…
With the high collision energies at the LHC, the contributions to particle production from hard-QCD processes increase, but it remains dominated by soft-QCD processes. Such processes challenge the theoretical models, since they are…
This review describes the current status of precision QCD studies at the LHC. We introduce the main experimental and theoretical methods, discussing also their cross-stimulated developments and recent advances. The different types of QCD…

At high collision energies as achieved at the LHC there are increasing contributions from hard processes, which can be computed with perturbative QCD. Nevertheless, particle production is still dominated by soft QCD with transferred…
In this review we present our model which is an example of the self consistent approach that incorporates our theoretical understanding of long distance physics, based both on N=4 SYM for strong coupling and on the matching with the…
