Multiparticle Dynamics in the LHC Era

Abstract

Using the theory talks at ISMD2010 as a guidance, I present a personal review of our current understanding of multiparticle interactions in QCD. For more clarity, I separately consider hard, semi-hard, and soft interactions, and I devote most of the space to those phenomena for which progress has been recently made from first principles. Also, priority is given to processes which are directly relevant for QCD studies at the LHC, notably to forward particle production and ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions.
