Comparisons are made with previous measurements at sqrt{s}=0.9 TeV and 2.36 TeV. At sqrt{s}=7 TeV, for events with at least one charged particle in | η|<1, we obtain dN_{ch}/dη=6.01±0.01(mathrm {stat.})^{+0.20}_{-0.12}(syst.). This corresponds to an increase of 57.6%±0.4%(stat.)^{+3.6}_{-1.8}%(syst.) relative to collisions at 0.9 TeV, significantly higher than calculations from commonly used models. The multiplicity distribution at 7 TeV is described fairly well by the negative binomial distribution.

The measurement is performed in the central pseudorapidity region (vertical bar eta vertical bar &lt; 0.8) over the transverse momentum range 0.15 &lt; p(T) &lt; 10 GeV/c. The correlation between transverse momentum and particle multiplicity is also studied. Results are presented for inelastic (INEL) and non-single-diffractive (NSD) events. The average transverse momentum for vertical bar eta vertical bar &lt; 0.8 is &lt; p(T)&gt;(INEL) = 0.483 +/- 0.001 (stat.) +/- 0.007 (syst.) GeV/c and &lt; p(T)&gt;(NSD) = 0.489 +/- 0.001 (stat.) +/- 0.007 (syst.) GeV/c, respectively. The data exhibit a slightly larger &lt; p(T)&gt; than measurements in wider pseudorapidity intervals. The results are compared to simulations with the Monte Carlo event generators PYTHIA and PHOJET. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V.
