Analysis Approach via Electrons
(1) Measure inclusive electron transverse momentum spectrum
(2) Build background contributions spectrum described with an electron cocktail (photonic, Dalitz/dielectron decays of mesons, weak kaon decay, direct radiation, J/ψ and Υ)
(3) Measure heavy flavor semi-electronic decays by subtracting (2) from (1)
5
Heavier meson sources(η, η', ρ, ω, φ): implemented via mT scaling(verified for ƞ) Photon conversion sources: - Calculate photon conversion in the beam pipe and 1/3 of the first pixel layer (0.5 % X0)- Use the ratio of conversion to Dalitz electrons to estimate the e± contributions

(1) Remove hadrons and low pt secondary muons by requiring a muon trigger signal(2) Remove decay muons by subtracting MC dN/dpt normalized to data at low pt• alternative method: use muon distance of closest approach to primary vertex

Summary
15
An inclusive electron spectrum is compared to cocktails describing electrons from meson decays and photon conversions
An excess is observed at high pt coming from heavy flavor, J/ψ decays and direct radiation
Analysis based on impact parameter is ongoing to separate the beauty contribution
The differential production cross section as a function of pt of muons from HF have been measured in 2 GeV/c < pt < 6.5 GeV/c, −4 < η < −2.5
The results are in agreement with the FONLL predictions within errors
Analysis on the Pb+Pb data is ongoing!
Figure 3 shows the measured RAA and vHF2 of heavy-
flavor electrons in 0%–10% central and minimum biascollisions, and our corresponding !0 data [6,29]. Thedata indicate strong coupling of heavy quarks to the me-dium. While at low pT the suppression is smaller than thatof !0, RAA of heavy-flavor decay electrons approaches the!0 value for pT > 4 GeV=c although a significant contri-bution from bottom decays is expected at high pT . Thelarge vHF
2 indicates that the charm relaxation time is com-parable to the short time scale of flow development in theproduced medium. It should be noted that much reduceduncertainties and the extended pT range of the present datapermit the comparisons of RAA and v2 of the heavy andlight flavors.
More quantitative statements require theoretical guid-ance. Figure 3 compares the RAA and v2 of heavy-flavorelectrons with models calculating both quantities simulta-neously. A pQCD calculation with radiative energy loss(curves I) [30] describes the measured RAA reasonably wellusing a large transport coefficient q̂ ! 14 GeV2=fm,which also provides a consistent description of light hadron
suppression. This value of q̂ would imply a stronglycoupled medium. In this model the azimuthal anisotropyis only due to the path length dependence of energy loss,and the data clearly favor larger vHF
2 than predicted fromthis effect alone.

2 indicates that the charm relaxation time is com-parable to the short time scale of flow development in theproduced medium. It should be noted that much reduceduncertainties and the extended pT range of the present datapermit the comparisons of RAA and v2 of the heavy andlight flavors.
More quantitative statements require theoretical guid-ance. Figure 3 compares the RAA and v2 of heavy-flavorelectrons with models calculating both quantities simulta-neously. A pQCD calculation with radiative energy loss(curves I) [30] describes the measured RAA reasonably wellusing a large transport coefficient q̂ ! 14 GeV2=fm,which also provides a consistent description of light hadron
suppression. This value of q̂ would imply a stronglycoupled medium. In this model the azimuthal anisotropyis only due to the path length dependence of energy loss,and the data clearly favor larger vHF

Figure 3 shows the measured RAA and vHF2 of heavy-
flavor electrons in 0%–10% central and minimum biascollisions, and our corresponding !0 data [6,29]. Thedata indicate strong coupling of heavy quarks to the me-dium. While at low pT the suppression is smaller than thatof !0, RAA of heavy-flavor decay electrons approaches the!0 value for pT > 4 GeV=c although a significant contri-bution from bottom decays is expected at high pT . Thelarge vHF
2 indicates that the charm relaxation time is com-parable to the short time scale of flow development in theproduced medium. It should be noted that much reduceduncertainties and the extended pT range of the present datapermit the comparisons of RAA and v2 of the heavy andlight flavors.

Outlook: σB/D in pp @ 14 TeV via (di)muons
Simulated Results
input distributions are well reconstructed;
nice agreement between single muon and dimuon channels;
systematic errors are 20% for B and D in the single muon channel and, 15% for B and 20% for D in thedimuon channel;
92% (33%) of σB (σD ) is reconstructed via single muons and, 84% (34%) of σB (σD ) is reconstructedvia dimuons;
this analysis procedure is currently applied to pp data at 7 TeV.
