TY - JOUR A1 - Ostapchenko, Sergey T1 - QGSJET-III model: physics and preliminary results T2 - EPJ Web of Conferences N2 - We discuss in some detail the physics content of the new model, QGSJET-III-01, focusing on major problems related to the treatment of semihard processes in the very high energy limit. A special attention has been payed to the main improvement, compared to the QGSJET-II model, which is related to a phenomenological treatment of leading power corrections corresponding to final parton rescattering off soft gluons. In particular, this allowed us to use a twice smaller separation scale between the soft and hard parton physics, compared to the previous model version, QGSJET-II-04. Preliminary results obtained with the new model are also presented.
