Open-charm measurements in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at central rapidity with ALICE

Abstract

An overview of recent ${\mathrm{D}}^{+}$, ${\mathrm{D}}^0$, ${\mathrm{D}}^{\ast +}$ and ${\mathrm{D}}_{\mathrm{s}}^{+}$ measurements performed by ALICE at central rapidity in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and 8 TeV, as well as lead-lead collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=2.76$ TeV, is presented. An emphasis is put on the discussion of theoretical predictions with respect to the LHC Run I data.
