Heavy-flavour decay lepton measurements in pp, p-Pb, and Pb-Pb collisions with ALICE at the LHC

We present the measurements of electrons and muons from the semi-leptonic decays of heavy-flavour hadrons measured in the central and forward rapidity regions with ALICE in pp, Pb-Pb, and p-Pb, collisions at the LHC. The pT-differential production cross section in pp collisions, the elliptic flow in Pb-Pb collisions, and the nuclear modification factor in Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions are shown. The results are compared to theoretical predictions.

Open heavy-flavour measurements in pp and Pb-Pb collisions with ALICE at the LHC

We present an overview of measurements related to open heavy-flavour production with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. Studies are performed using single leptons (electrons at mid-rapidity and muons at forward-rapidity) and D mesons, which are reconstructed via their hadronic decay channels. The measured differential production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 2.76 and 7 TeV are in agreement with perturbative QCD calculations. Results from Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV on the nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$ are shown, along with the elliptic flow $\nu_2$.

D^0 measurements in Au+Au Collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV using the STAR Silicon Inner Tracker

We present preliminary results from D^0 meson measurements through the hadronic decay channel in minimum bias Au+Au collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV at STAR. The measurements are performed using a secondary vertexing technique that exploits the resolution given by the Silicon detectors available in STAR.
