Soft Particle Production at HERA

HERA data on soft hadron production are discussed. The measured inclusive and exclusive hadron cross sections show a simple scaling behaviour.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures (in eps) talk given at XXXI International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics, Sep. 1-7, 2001, Datong China URL http://ismd31.ccnu.edu.cn

Predictions on the transverse momentum spectra for charged particle production at LHC-energies from a two component model

Transverse momentum spectra, $d^2\sigma/(d\eta dp_T^2)$, of charged hadron production in $pp$-collisions are considered in terms of a recently introduced two component model. The shapes of the particle distributions vary as a function of c.m.s. energy in the collision and the measured pseudorapidity interval. In order to extract predictions on the double-differential cross-sections $d^2\sigma/(d\eta dp_T^2)$ of hadron production for future LHC-measurements the different sets of available experimental data have been used in this study.Comment: 5 pages, 7 plot
