The inclusive charged particle transverse momentum distribution is measured in proton-proton collisions at sqrt{s} = 900 GeV at the LHC using the ALICE detector. The measurement is performed in the central pseudorapidity region (|eta|<0.8) over the transverse momentum range 0.15<p_T<10GeV/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 |eta|<0.8 is <p_T>_INEL=0.483+-0.001 (stat.) +- 0.007 (syst.)GeV/c and <p_T_NSD>=0.489+-0.001(stat.)+-0.007(syst.)GeV/c, respectively. The data exhibit a slightly larger <p_T> than measurements in wider pseudorapidity intervals. The results are compared to simulations with the Monte Carlo event generators PYTHIA and PHOJET.

Abstract

The inclusive charged particle transverse momentum distribution is measured in proton-proton collisions at sqrt{s} = 900 GeV at the LHC using the ALICE detector. The measurement is performed in the central pseudorapidity region (|eta|<0.8) over the transverse momentum range 0.15_INEL=0.483+-0.001 (stat.) +- 0.007 (syst.)GeV/c and =0.489+-0.001(stat.)+-0.007(syst.)GeV/c, respectively. The data exhibit a slightly larger than measurements in wider pseudorapidity intervals. The results are compared to simulations with the Monte Carlo event generators PYTHIA and PHOJET.
