Charged-particle multiplicity density at mid-rapidity in central Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV
This was the first paper to measure the charged particle multiplicity in lead-lead collisions at the LHC and was able to rule out most model predictions at that stage. This paper also showed the multiplicity, in heavy-ion, collisions to rise much faster with energy than previous predicted. Evans spent much time at CERN, over several months, helping to prepare the ALICE trigger system for these collisions, calculating corrections for the trigger selections (which were required in the data analysis to correct the data), and working on the early preparations for the data analysis contained in this paper.
