Abstract

Predictions for the pseudorapidity density of charged particles produced in Pb-Pb central collisions at sNN=5.5\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.5 TeV are presented. Particle production in such collisions is computed in the framework of k_t-factorization, using running coupling non-linear evolution to determine the transverse momentum and rapidity dependence of the nuclear unintegrated gluon distributions.
