The ICHEP'12 Conference:
Soft Strong Interactions and Higgs Bosons
Paul Newman (Birmingham University)
This is an expanded version of the plenary talk on Soft and Semi-hard strong
interactions from the ICHEP'12 conference in Melbourne, Australia. The bulk
of the talk will cover selected highlights in the recent development of our
understanding of elastic, diffractive and total cross sections, multi-parton
interactions, energy flow and other global event observables from the LHC
and elsewhere. Some general remarks on the conference, where the observation
of a Higgs-like particle was first announced, will also be included.
