- We present a series of observables for soft inclusive physics, and utilize them for comparison between two recently developed color reconnection models: the new color reconnection model in Pythia and the DIPSY rope hadronization model. The observables are ratios of identified hadron yields as a function of the final-state activity, as measured by the charged multiplicity. Since both considered models have a nontrivial dependence on the final-state activity, the above observables serve as excellent probes to test the effect of these models. Both models show a clear baryon enhancement with increasing multiplicity, while only the DIPSY rope model leads to a strangeness enhancement. Flowlike patterns, previously found to be connected to color reconnection models, are investigated for the new models. Only Pythia shows a p(perpendicular to)-dependent enhancement of the Lambda/K ratio as the final-state activity increases, with the enhancement being largest in the mid-p(perpendicular to) region.

- In models for hadron collisions based on string hadronization, the strings are usually treated as independent, allowing no interaction between the confined colour fields. In studies of nucleus collisions it has been suggested that strings close in space can fuse to form "colour ropes". Such ropes are expected to give more strange particles and baryons, which also has been suggested as a signal for plasma formation. Overlapping strings can also be expected in pp collisions, where usually no phase transition is expected. In particular at the high LHC energies the expected density of strings is quite high. To investigate possible effects of rope formation, we present a model in which strings are allowed to combine into higher multiplets, giving rise to increased production of baryons and strangeness, or recombine into singlet structures and vanish. Also a crude model for strings recombining into junction structures is considered, again giving rise to increased baryon production. The models are implemented in the dipsy MC event generator, using Pythia8 for hadronization, and comparison to pp minimum bias data, reveals improvement in the description of identified particle spectra.
