A comprehensive model of soft interactions in the LHC era

Abstract

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 perturbative QCD approach. We demonstrate how important and decisive the LHC data were on strong interactions which led us to a set of the phenomenological parameters that fully confirmed our theoretical expectations, and produced a new picture of the strong interaction at high energy. We also show how far we have come towards creating a framework for the description of minimal bias events for high energy scattering without generating Monte Carlo codes.
