Abstract

Heavy quark production is measured in the single-muon decay channel with the ALICE muon spectrometer. We present the differential production cross section of muons from heavy flavour decay at forward rapidity (2.5 < y < 4) in pp collisions at TeV and comparisons to perturbative QCD predictions. The analysis of the inclusive muon production in Pb–Pb collisions at TeV is described as well, and special attention is given to preliminary results on the nuclear modification factor.
