    abstract = "The centrality dependence of the charged-particle multiplicity density
at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2: 76 TeV is
presented. The charged-particle density normalized per participating
nucleon pair increases by about a factor of 2 from peripheral
(70%-80%) to central (0%-5%) collisions. The centrality dependence
is found to be similar to that observed at lower collision energies. The
data are compared with models based on different mechanisms for particle
production in nuclear collisions."
