Measurements of heavy-flavour decay lepton productions in Pb-Pb and Xe-Xe collisions with ALICE at the LHC
Charm and beauty quarks are expected to form on a shorter time scale with respect to the stronglyinteracting medium, Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.Therefore, expecting the full evolution of the collision, they are effective probes to study themechanisms of pa...

description | Charm and beauty quarks are expected to form on a shorter time scale with respect to the stronglyinteracting medium, Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.Therefore, expecting the full evolution of the collision, they are effective probes to study themechanisms of parton energy loss and hadronisation in the hot and dense medium, giving insight onthe QGP evolution and its transport coefficients.The heavy-flavour nuclear modification factor($R_{\rm AA}$) is one of the key observables whichallows investigate the interaction strength of heavyquarks with the medium constituents.We report on the latest measurements of the $R_{\rm AA}$ of open heavy-flavour hadrons via semi-leptonicdecays to electrons at mid-rapidity and muons at forward rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions and Xe-Xe collisions with ALICE at LHC.Comparisons with model calculationsincluding the interaction of heavy quarks with the hot, dense, and deconfined medium will be alsoshown. |
