Open heavy-flavour production and elliptic flow in p-Pb collisions at the LHC with ALICE
Abstract
Measurements of open heavy flavour production in p-A collisions allow
the investigation of Cold Nuclear Matter effects. In addition, they are
an important tool for a complementary investigation of the long-range
correlations found in small systems in the light flavour sector. In this
work, production measurements of D mesons at mid-rapidity in p-Pb
collisions at root S-NN = 5.02 TeV are reported. Production yields are
also reported for the heavy-flavour hadron decay electrons at central
rapidity at root(SNN) = 5.02 and 8.16 TeV. The elliptic flow (nu(2)) of
heavy-flavour hadron decay electrons in high multiplicity p-Pb
collisions at root(SNN) = 5.02 TeV is found to be positive with a
significance larger than 5 sigma.
