Total and inelastic cross sections in the PHOJET MC event generator — •Anatoli Fedynitch1,2 and Ralph Engel2 — 1CERN, Genf — 2IKP, KIT, Karlsruhe
The Monte-Carlo event generator PHOJET 1.12 has been successfully employed in experimental and technical fields of particle and cosmic ray physics for more than a decade. The latest official version, released in 2000, uses the total, elastic and diffractive cross-section data available during the Tevatron era as a basis for the extrapolation to higher energies. The employed model is based on Regge-arguments, typically resulting in reliable and stable predictions. However, recent LHC (min-bias) measurements of charged particle distributions and cross-sections showed, that a major rework of the underlying model is needed for a more accurate description of accelerator data.
Here, we present the status of the ongoing work and will give an outlook for the upcoming versions.
