Gluon saturation and inclusive hadron production at LHC

In high-density QCD the hadron production stems from decay of mini jets that have the transverse momenta of the order of the saturation scale. It is shown in this paper that this idea is able to describe in a unique fashion both the inclusive hadron production for root s >= 546 GeV including the first data from LHC and the deep inelastic scattering at HERA. Recently reported data from ALICE, CMS, and ATLAS including inclusive charged-hadron transverse momentum and multiplicity distribution in pp collisions are well described in our approach. We provide predictions for the upcoming LHC measurements.
