Abstract

Heavy flavour production in small systems is sensitive to a variety of effects, from initial to final state. It can be studied using leptons from heavy flavour hadron decays, or meson or baryon exclusive hadronic decays. The yields are compared to models including initial state effects, such as nuclear modifications of the parton distribution functions or in the colour glass condensate framework. These data can also be used to look for signals of a quark gluon plasma. Additional information is gained from studies of the heavy flavour elliptic flow and correlations.
