Description

In this work we present a comparative study of PYTHIA, EPOS, QGSJET and SIBYLL generators for proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV in the forward region. The generated charged energy flow, charged-particle distributions, charged-hadron production ratios and $V^{0}$ ratios are compared to the forward physics measurements from LHCb and TOTEM. Most of the observed differences seem to be explained by the extrapolation from the central rapidity region.
