Measurement of Open Heavy-Flavour Production in pp and p–Pb Collisions with ALICE at the LHC

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN allows us to study heavy-ion collisions at an un- precedented energy. ALICE, A Large Ion Collider Experiment, is the experiment ded- icated to the investigation of heavy-ion collisions. In this contribution, recent open heavy-flavour results from pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$= 5.02, 7, 8 and 13 TeV and p–Pb collisions at $\sqrt{sNN}$ = 5.02 TeV, collected with the ALICE detector during the LHC Run-1 and Run-2 are presented. The results include the production cross section, nuclear modification factor and multiplicity dependence studies of production of D mesons and electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at mid-rapidity and of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity. Charm production was measured down to $pT$ = 0 GeV/$c$ in pp and p–Pb collisions. Recent measurements of the production cross section of heavy charmed baryons such as $Λ_c$ (in pp and p–Pb) and $Ξ_c$ (in pp) are discussed. The results are compared with theoretical model predictions.
