  The TOTEM experiment has measured the charged particle pseudorapidity density
dN_{ch}/deta in pp collisions at sqrt{s} = 7 TeV for 5.3<|eta|<6.4 in events
with at least one charged particle with transverse momentum above 40 MeV/c in
this pseudorapidity range. This extends the analogous measurement performed by
the other LHC experiments to the previously unexplored forward eta region. The
measurement refers to more than 99% of non-diffractive processes and to single
and double diffractive processes with diffractive masses above ~3.4 GeV/c^2,
corresponding to about 95% of the total inelastic cross-section. The
dN_{ch}/deta has been found to decrease with |eta|, from 3.84 pm 0.01(stat) pm
0.37(syst) at |eta| = 5.375 to 2.38 pm 0.01(stat) pm 0.21(syst) at |eta| =
6.375. Several MC generators have been compared to data; none of them has been
found to fully describe the measurement.
