Measurement of the D-meson nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow in Pb–Pb collisions at √SNN = 5.02 TeV with ALICE at the LHC

Heavy-flavour hadrons are recognised as a powerful probe for the characterisation of the deconfined medium created in heavy-ion collisions, the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). The ALICE Collaboration measured the production of D0, D+, D*+ and Ds+ mesons in Pb–Pb collisions at SNN = 5.02 TeV. The measureme...
