Abstract

We present an overview of measurements related to open heavy-flavour\nproduction with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. Studies are performed using\nsingle leptons (electrons at mid-rapidity and muons at forward-rapidity) and D\nmesons, which are reconstructed via their hadronic decay channels. The measured\ndifferential production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at\n\√(s) = 2.76 and 7 TeV are in agreement with perturbative QCD\ncalculations. Results from Pb-Pb collisions at \√s_NN = 2.76 TeV on\nthe nuclear modification factor R_AA are shown, along with the elliptic\nflow \ν₂.\n
