new features at the Large Hadron Collider"

The multi-particle productions in proton-proton collisions at the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC) at energies up to 7 TeV, display many interesting
features which cannot be explained with the existing knowledge on
proton-proton collisions at pre-LHC energies. In fact, the proton-proton
events at the LHC, particularly the high-multiplicity ones, besides making
just the reference line for studying the features of the relativistic
heavy-ion collision data, attract much interest as a potential tool for
revealing new physics. Some of the features of the pp collisions at LHC
will be discussed in terms of global observables, like multiplicity and
transverse momentum distributions.
