| Abstract | This note provides additional material related to the analysis of mid-rapidity pseudorapidity density of charged particles ($\mathrm{d}N_\mathrm{ch}/\mathrm{d}\eta$) in Pb-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair, $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV (arXiv:1512.06104). We discuss the details of the Glauber Monte Carlo calculation and its relation with the experimental data. We also present the comparison of the current results with the $\mathrm{d}N_\mathrm{ch}/\mathrm{d}\eta$ measurement at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV, with a discussion on the systematic uncertainties. |
