Multiplicity Distribution of Secondary Hadrons at LHC Energy and Total   Cross Sections of Hadron-Hadron Interactions
  The multiple production processes of secondary hadrons in proton-antiproton scattering are divided into three types. The first type is a shower of secondary hadrons produced from gluon string decay, the second type is a shower of secondary hadrons produced from two quark strings decay and the third is a shower produced from three quark strings decay. At the same time there are only two types for proton-proton scattering - shower from gluon string and shower from two quark strings. These showers do not correspond to pomeron showers originating from cuts of one, two, three, ... pomerons. Multiplicity distribution in gluon string is Gaussian, in two and three quark strings it is negative binomial. Gluon string weight in the multiplicity distribution is determined by the constant contribution to total cross sections, the quark strings weights - by the growing with energy contributions. The expected value of proton-proton scattering total cross section and the multiplicity distribution at energy 14 TeV are given
