Abstract
The ALICE Collaboration has measured heavy-flavour production in a wide rapidity range and in several decay channels in pp, Pb-Pb and, recently, in p-Pb collisions. An overview of some recent results is presented in this paper, with a particular emphasis on the first measurements in p-Pb collisions at = 5.02 TeV. A selection of the new results in Pb-Pb collisions at = 2.76 TeV is discussed as well.
Highlights
The ALICE experiment [1] studies the properties of the strongly interacting matter at the extreme energy densities reached in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the LHC
The nuclear modification factors of D mesons [6] and electrons from heavy-flavour decays [10] at mid-rapidity and of muons from heavy-flavour decays at forward rapidity [9] have been measured with ALICE: all of the results show a strong reduction of the yields at large transverse momenta in the most central collisions
In Pb–Pb collisions, new results on the nuclear modification factor of D mesons as a function of the collision centrality allow for a comparison with the non-prompt J/ψ measured with CMS in a consistent transverse momentum range of the D and B mesons
