Soft QCD at the CMS and ATLAS experiments

A short overview of some of the recent results on soft QCD processes at the LHC will be presented from the ATLAS and CMS experiments. The discussion will proceed starting from the most inclusive to the more differential and rare phenomena. New results include total inelastic cross section measurements; studies of minimum bias collisions (charged particle $\eta$ and $p_T$ distributions and two-particle correlations in high-multiplicity events); features of the underlying event (multiplicity and $\Sigma p_T$ distributions in the presence of a high-$p_T$ track, jet, Z boson or $t\overline{t}$ pair); minijets characterizing the transition between the soft and hard QCD regimes; dijets with a rapidity gap (as a signature of color-singlet exchange); M\uller-Navelet dijets and their angular decorrelations (as an attempt to search for signs of the BFKL evolution and deviations from DGLAP); and finally, Double Parton Scattering (DPS) studies using various final states (4-jet events, $\gamma$ + 3 jets, 2 b-jets and 2 jets, and same-sign WW boson pairs).
