Title: Investigating heavy-flavor quark production in hard and soft scattering using angular correlations over varying multiplicity classes with the ALICE detector at the LHC in p-Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV
Description
Abstract: Heavy-quark hadrons are used to study the properties of the partonic stages of a heavy-ion collision, where a quark-gluon plasma medium is created. Charm quark production via angular correlations of trigger hadrons and associated electrons from heavy-flavor hadron decays is investigated in 5.02 TeV p-Pb collisions. A previous analysis studied a difference of the strangeness production in jets compared to the underlying event for increasing collision system size. With this new analysis, the flavor-dependence of particle production in jets and the underlying event is investigated.
