Charged-particle multiplicities in proton–proton collisions at √s=0.9 to 8 TeV
A detailed study of pseudorapidity densities and multiplicity distributions of primary charged particles produced in proton-proton collisions, at s√=s=\sqrt{s} = 0.9, 2.36, 2.76, 7 and 8 TeV, in the pseudorapidity range |η|<2|η|<2|\eta |<2, was carried out using the ALICE detector. Measurem...

| Summary: | A detailed study of pseudorapidity densities and multiplicity distributions of primary charged particles produced in proton-proton collisions, at s√=s=\sqrt{s} = 0.9, 2.36, 2.76, 7 and 8 TeV, in the pseudorapidity range |η|<2|η|<2|\eta |<2, was carried out using the ALICE detector. Measurements were obtained for three event classes: inelastic, non-single diffractive and events with at least one charged particle in the pseudorapidity interval |η|<1|η|<1|\eta |<1. The use of an improved track-counting algorithm combined with ALICE’s measurements of diffractive processes allows a higher precision compared to our previous publications. A KNO scaling study was performed in the pseudorapidity intervals |η|<|η|<|\eta |< 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5. The data are compared to other experimental results and to models as implemented in Monte Carlo event generators PHOJET and recent tunes of PYTHIA6, PYTHIA8 and EPOS. |
