Heavy quarks are a powerful probe for investigating the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma created in heavy-ion collisions, since they are produced in initial hard scattering processes and experience all the stages of the medium…
Measurements of charm and beauty production in pp collisions, using the ALICE detector system, at LHC energies ($\sqrt{s} = 2.76$ and 7.0 TeV) can test perturbative QCD down to very low Bj\"{o}rken-x. They are also critical as a reference…
