N2 - The pseudorapidity density and anisotropic flow of charged-particles provide fundamental information about global variables and correlations in heavy-ion collisions. The pseudorapidity density is related to the energy available for particle production while the anisotropic flow is related to collective effects from interactions between these particles. Extending these measurements to very forward pseudorapidities yields information about the longitudinal expansion of the system. The first measurements performed at the LHC over more than 8 units of pseudorapidity are presented. The longitudinal scaling of the measurements is analyzed and comparison to models is performed.
