Measurement of heavy-favour production in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC with ALICE
Davide Caffarri (for the ALICE Collaboration)
TL;DR
This paper presents measurements of heavy-flavour particle production in proton-proton and lead-lead collisions at the LHC using the ALICE detector, focusing on electrons, muons, and D mesons to study quark-gluon plasma effects.
Contribution
It provides new experimental data on heavy-flavour production at different collision energies and systems, utilizing multiple analysis techniques.
Findings
Heavy-flavour yields are measured in pp and Pb-Pb collisions.
Results show modifications in heavy-flavour production in Pb-Pb compared to pp.
Data contribute to understanding quark-gluon plasma properties.
Abstract
Latest results on open heavy favour measurements in pp collisions at 7 TeV and Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 2.76 TeV with the ALICE experiment are presented. The results of the single lepton analyses (electrons at central rapidity, muons at forward rapidity) and D meson reconstruction will be discussed.
