Measurement of non-strange D-meson production and azimuthal anisotropy in Pb-Pb collisions with ALICE at the LHC

Heavy quarksHeavy quarks are effective probes of the properties of the QGP created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The ALICE Collaboration measured the non-strange D-meson production in Pb–Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN\,}}=5.02$ TeV. The in-medium energy loss can be studied via the nuclear modification factorNuclear modification factor measurement. The measurement of the D-meson elliptic-flow coefficient, $v_2$, allows us to investigate the participation of the heavy quarksHeavy quarks in the collective expansion of the system at low momentum and their possible thermalization in the medium. Furthermore, sensitivity of charm quark to the light quark can be studied by the Event-Shape Engineering technique of the D-meson elliptic flowElliptic flow.
