Description
Proton–proton collisions are being studied with the ALICE detector not only as a benchmark for the comparison with heavy-ion reactions, but also as a means to study important aspects of pp physics in the new energy domain provided by the LHC. In this contribution ALICE results on general characteristics of pp interactions at sqrt(s) = 0.9, 2.36 and 7 TeV will be reported and their potential for diffractive physics presented.
