Heavy-flavor correlations and multiplicity dependence in pp and p--Pb collisions with ALICE

Abstract

The production of heavy quarks in pp collisions at the LHC energies provides a reliable test of perturbative QCD calculations. Comparisons of pp and $\pPb$ measurements of their hadronization products allow us to investigate how cold nuclear matter effects affect the heavy-quark production. We present ALICE measurements of azimuthal correlations of prompt D mesons with charged hadrons in pp collisions at $\s$ = 7 TeV and $\pPb$ collisions at $\sNN$ = 5.02 TeV. We also show the per-event D-meson yields as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity in pp collisions at $\s$ = 7 TeV.
