11th International Conference on Hard and Electromagnetic Probes of High-Energy Nuclear Collisions

Measurements of the production of hadrons containing heavy quarks (charm and beauty) allow a study of cold nuclear matter (CNM) effects such as gluon saturation, shadowing and energy loss in p-Pb collisions. Understanding these effects is important for the proper interpretation of results in Pb-Pb collisions. In addition, the measurements provide the possibility to investigate the hadronisation mechanism.

In this poster, the first measurement of production cross section and nuclear modification factor of the ${\mathrm{D}}^0$ originating from beauty hadron decays, called non-prompt ${\mathrm{D}}^0$, at midrapidity in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{N}\mathrm{N}}}$ = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector will be presented. The non-prompt baryon-to-meson yield ratio ${\mathrm{\Lambda }}_{\mathrm{c}}^{+}/{\mathrm{D}}^0$ will be discussed as well.
