Abstract Charged-particle spectra obtained in Pb+Pb interactions at s N N = 2.76 $$\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=2.76$$ TeV and pp interactions at s N N = 2.76 $$\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=2.76$$ TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC are presented, using data with integrated luminosities of 0.15 nb −1 and 4.2 pb −1 , respectively, in a wide transverse momentum (0 . 5 < p T < 150 GeV) and pseudorapidity (| η | < 2) range. For Pb+Pb collisions, the spectra are presented as a function of collision centrality, which is determined by the response of the forward calorimeters located on both sides of the interaction point. The nuclear modification factors R AA and R CP are presented in detail as a function of centrality, p T and η . They show a distinct p T -dependence with a pronounced minimum at about 7 GeV. Above 60 GeV, R AA is consistent with a plateau at a centrality-dependent value, within the uncertainties. The value is 0 . 55 ± 0 . 01(stat . ) ± 0 . 04(syst . ) in the most central collisions. The R AA distribution is consistent with flat | η | dependence over the whole transverse momentum range in all centrality classes.
