Measurement of electrons from charm and beauty-hadron decays in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ 5.02 TeV with ALICE at the LHC

The p(T)-differential production cross section of electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays in the rapidity range -1.06 < y(cms) < 0.14 in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV has been measured with ALICE. The cross section of electrons from beauty-hadron decays, isolated based on th...

Sumario:The p(T)-differential production cross section of electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays in the rapidity range -1.06 < y(cms) < 0.14 in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV has been measured with ALICE. The cross section of electrons from beauty-hadron decays, isolated based on their larger average displacement from the interaction vertex, is presented as well as the nuclear modification factor R(pPb) of heavy-flavour and beauty-hadron decay electrons. Theoretical predictions including the effects due to the nuclear modification of the parton distribution functions are discussed with the results.
