Events were collected using a single-arm minimum-bias trigger. The charged-particle multiplicity, its dependence on transverse momentum and pseudorapidity and the relationship between the mean transverse momentum and charged-particle multiplicity are measured. Measurements in different regions of phase space are shown, providing diffraction-reduced measurements as well as more inclusive ones. The observed distributions are corrected to well-defined phase-space regions, using model-independent corrections. The results are compared to each other and to various Monte Carlo (MC) models, including a new AMBT1 pythia6 tune. In all the kinematic regions considered, the particle multiplicities are higher than predicted by the MC models. The central charged-particle multiplicity per event and unit of pseudorapidity, for tracks with p(T) > 100 MeV, is measured to be 3.483 +/- 0.009 (stat) +/- 0.106 (syst) at root s = 0.9 TeV and 5.630 +/- 0.003 (stat) +/- 0.169 (syst) at root s = 7 TeV.", optnote="ISI:000292002100003", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=667), last updated on Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:23:12 +0000", issn="1367-2630", doi="10.1088/1367-2630/13/5/053033", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1012.5104", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/13/5/053033", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1012.5104", language="English" }
