Predictions of diffractive proton-proton cross sections at LHC, and of the total and total-inelastic proton-proton cross sections based on the RENORM unitarization model, also referred to as the MBR (minimum-bias-Rockefeller) model implemented in PYTHIA8-MBR, are confirmed by recent LHC measurements. Several other available diffraction models are discussed, highlighting differences among them and PYTHIA8-MBR regarding rapidity-gap and final-state distributions.
