Open Heavy-Flavour Measurements In P-Pb And Pb-Pb Collisions With Alice At The Lhc

Heavy flavours are sensitive probes of the hot and dense QCD medium formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Measurements of their production in p-Pb collisions are crucial for the interpretation of heavy-ion results, by investigating the cold nuclear matter effects. The open heavy-flavour production studied with ALICE at the LHC in p-Pb collisions at root S-NN = 5.02 TeV and in Pb-Pb collisions at root S-NN = 2.76 TeV are presented. Emphasis is given to the recent measurements of D-0 production cross section down to PT=0, the nuclear modification factor of heavy-flavour hadron decay electrons in p-Pb collisions, the nuclear modification factor of D-meson, and heavy-flavour hadron decay electron elliptic flow in Pb-Pb collisions, as a function of centrality.
