Abstract

Heavy flavours are sensitive probes of the hot and dense QCD medium formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Measurements of their production in p-Pb collisions are crucial for the interpretation of heavy-ion results, by investigating the cold nuclear matter effects. The open heavy-flavour production studied with ALICE at the LHC in p-Pb collisions at and in Pb-Pb collisions at are presented. Emphasis is given to the recent measurements of D0 production cross section down to pT=0, the nuclear modification factor of heavy-flavour hadron decay electrons in p-Pb collisions, the nuclear modification factor of D-meson, and heavy-flavour hadron decay electron elliptic flow in Pb-Pb collisions, as a function of centrality.
