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…
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.
For comparison of inclusive jet cross sections measured at hadron-hadron colliders to next-to-leading order (NLO) parton-level calculations, the energy deposited in the jet cone by spectator parton interactions must first be subtracted. The…
