Will admit that I haven’t read it yet, just saw the crazy number of authors and think this may compete for one of the papers with the most authors.
This one [0] about the Higgs boson is hard to beat. Pages 25-32 are just full of around 5150 „authors“, pages 33-37 are their affilliations.[0] <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1207.7214" rel="nofollow">https://arxiv.org/abs/1207.7214
I think the number is ~2930 authors according to the CDS [1] which is comparable to the corresponding CMS paper which has about ~2900 authors [2][1] <a href="https://cds.cern.ch/record/1471031" rel="nofollow">https://cds.cern.ch/record/1471031[2] <a href="https://impact.ornl.gov/en/publications/observation-of-a-new-boson-at-a-mass-of-125-gev-with-the-cms-expe/" rel="nofollow">https://impact.ornl.gov/en/publications/observation-of-a-new...
