Soft QCD results from ATLAS and CMS

Abstract

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 phenomenological models and partially to other experiments have been made. The production of the strange particles K0s, Lambda and Xi is discussed. Particle correlation studies, in particular Bose-Einstein as well as long- and short-range angular correlations in proton-proton and lead ion events are explained.
