Charged-particle distributions in pp interactions at √s = 8 TeV measured with the ATLAS detector at the LHC

This paper presents measurements of charged-particle distributions which are produced in proton\u2013proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 1as = 8 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. A special dataset recorded in 2012 with a small number of interactions per beam crossing (below 0.004) and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 160 \u3bcb 121 was used. A minimum-bias trigger was utilised to select a data sample of more than 9 million collision events. The multiplicity, pseudorapidity, and transverse momentum distributions of charged particles are shown in different regions of kinematics and chargedparticle multiplicity, including measurements of final states at high multiplicity. The results are presented as particle-level distributions to which predictions of various Monte Carlo event generator models are compared
