Abstract

The multiplicity distribution of charged particles produced in the central rapidity region (|η|<2.5) is calculated within the multichannel eikonal model using the Abramovsky-Gribov-Kancheli cutting rules and compared with ATLAS data at s=7 and 13 TeV. The effects of color reconnection and/or string percolation are discussed.
