A study of $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1800$ and 630 GeV collected using a minimum bias trigger in which the data set is divided into two classes corresponding to `soft' and `hard' interactions. For each subsample, the analysis includes measurements of the multiplicity, transverse momentum (pT) spectra, and the average pT and event-by-event pT dispersion as a function of multiplicity. A comparison of results shows distinct differences in the behavior of the two samples as a function of the center of mass energy. The properties of the soft sample are invariant as a function of c.m. energy. It should be noticed that minimum bias tunings of PYTHIA made by ATLAS in early 2010, which used this among all other available data from CDF and from ATLAS at 900 GeV and 7 TeV, found an unavoidable tension between this data and the rest. Accordingly, this data was excluded from the fits. Whether this reflects a problem with this dataset or with the PYTHIA MPI model is a judgement for users to make! Beam energy must be specified (in GeV) as analysis option "ENERGY" when rivet-merging samples.
