Experimental Overview on Heavy Flavour in Small Systems

Heavy flavourHeavy flavour production in small systemsSmall systems is sensitive to a variety of effects, from initial to final state. It can be studied using leptons from heavy flavourHeavy flavour hadron decays, or meson or baryon exclusive hadronic decays. The yields are compared to models including initial state effects, such as nuclear modifications of the parton distribution functions or in the colour glass condensate framework. These data can also be used to look for signals of a quark gluon plasma. Additional information is gained from studies of the heavy flavourHeavy flavour elliptic flow and correlations.
