Phenomenology of soft QCD: the role of minimum-bias measurements

Abstract

This chapter summarizes minimum-bias measurements at the Large Hadron Collider. In particular, the pseudorapidity density, the transverse-momentum spectra, the multiplicity distribution, the correlation of average transverse momentum and the multiplicity, and a measurement of minijets are presented. In addition to an overview of the results obtained to date at the LHC, the experimental challenges of defining particle and event sample and correcting to this sample are discussed.
