Contribution
It presents new experimental results from LHCb on forward hadron production and CEP, providing insights into soft QCD processes and low-x gluon dynamics.
Findings
Constraints on pomeron models from CEP measurements
Evidence supporting gluon saturation effects at low x
Validation of phenomenological models of soft QCD
Abstract
The LHCb detector at the LHC offers unique coverage of forward rapidities for studies of Central Exclusive Production (CEP) and soft QCD. CEP measurements allow the investigation of the nature of pomerons, and provide constraints on low-x gluon phenomenology, probing potential saturation effects. Moreover LHCb can test phenomenological models of soft QCD processes, by measuring the production of forward hadrons in pp collisions. In these proceedings the latest results from the LHCb experiment will be presented.
