Nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow of muons from heavy-flavour decays in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt {s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV
We report on the latest results from ALICE on the measurement of the nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow of muons from heavy-flavour decays at forward rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at = 2.76 TeV. A strong suppression of muons from heavy-flavour decays is observed at high transverse momentum...

Sumario: | We report on the latest results from ALICE on the measurement of the nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow of muons from heavy-flavour decays at forward rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at = 2.76 TeV. A strong suppression of muons from heavy-flavour decays is observed at high transverse momentum, pT, in the most central collisions compared to the binary-scaled expectation from pp events at the same energy, while a positive elliptic flow is observed at intermediate pT in semi-central collisions. Comparisons with model predictions are presented. |
