Abstract

We consider a quantum chromodynamics (QCD)-hadron interaction model in which the gluon density is low in the initial state wave function in rapidity space and real hadrons are produced from color string decay. In this model, the behavior of the total cross sections of pp, p\( \bar p \), π± p, K ± p, γp, and γγ interactions is well described. The value of the proton-proton total cross section under the energy of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is predicted.
