Soft interactions in Herwig — •Patrick Kirchgaesser, Stefan Gieseke, and Frasher Loshaj — Institute for Theoretical Physics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany

In this talk we present a completely new model for soft interactions in the event-generator Herwig 7. The model includes diffractive scattering and a new model for soft particle production. We explain the theoretical background and discuss the implementation of the model. After a quick outline of the tuning procedure we present numerous results. The new model resolves a number of shortcomings of the old model.
