Nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays in Pb–Pb collisions at
Nuclear Physics A(2014)
Abstract
Results from ALICE on the measurement of the nuclear modification factor, RAA, and elliptic flow, v2, of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV are reported. A strong suppression of the production of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays is observed at high transverse momentum, pT, in the most central collisions compared to the binary-scaled expectation from pp collisions at the same energy, while a positive elliptic flow is observed at intermediate pT in semi-central collisions. Comparisons with model predictions are presented.
