"The book aims to explain the historical development of particle physics, with special emphasis on CERN and collider physics. It describes in detail the LHC accelerator and its detectors, describing the science involved as well as the sociology of big collaborations, culminating with the discovery of the Higgs boson. Readers are led step-by-step to understanding why we do particle physics, as well as the tools and problems involved in the field. It provides an insider's view on the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider."--

The hadronic event generators SIBYLL, QGSJET and EPOS use an Eikonal unitarization scheme. We focus on SIBYLL and present the general theoretical concepts behind this event generator and concentrate on diffraction. After a presentation of Regge theory, we present different unitarization schemes. We show the equivalence between the Good-Walker models used in SIBYLL and the GLM model. We test the U-matrix scheme. We show that U matrix fits very well the total, the elastic, the inelastic and the single diffractive cross sections with soft interactions. We show the asymptotic behaviour of the different cross sections.
