Data were collected in December 2009 using a minimum-bias trigger during collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 900 GeV. The charged-particle multiplicity, its dependence on transverse momentum and pseudorapidity, and the relationship between mean transverse momentum and charged-particle multiplicity are measured for events with at least one charged particle in the kinematic range vertical bar eta vertical bar < 2.5 and p(T) > 500 MeV. The measurements are compared to Monte Carlo models of proton-proton collisions and to results from other experiments at the same centre-of-mass energy. The charged-particle multiplicity per event and unit of pseudorapidity eta = 0 is measured to be 1.333 +/- 0.003(stat.) +/- 0.040(syst.), which is 5-15{\%} higher than the Monte Carlo models predict.", optnote="ISI:000286150500001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=515), last updated on Thu, 15 Dec 2011 13:23:57 +0000", issn="0370-2693", doi="10.1016/j.physletb.2010.03.064", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1003.3124", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2010.03.064", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1003.3124", language="English" }
