Inclusive production in a model for soft interactions

The results presented in this paper differ from our previous unsuccessful attempt to predict the rapidity distribution at $W = 7 \,TeV$. The original version of our model (GLMM) only summed a particular class of Pomeron diagrams (enhanced diagrams). We believe that this was the reason for our failure to describe the $7 \,TeV$ inclusive LHC data. We have developed a new approach (GLM) that also includes the summation of the semi-enhanced diagrams.This contribution is essential for a successful description of the inclusive distributions, which is presented here.
