Angular correlations of heavy-flavour hadron decay electrons and charged particles in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 5.02 TeV with ALICE at the LHC

Abstract

Two-particle azimuthal correlations of electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays with charged particles can give insight into the properties of heavy-quark production and hadronization into heavy-flavour jets.\\ In this contribution, the ALICE results measured in pp collisions at 5.02 TeV, collected in the LHC Run 2, are presented. The yields of charged particles in the near and away-side correlation peaks and the peak width are compared with PYTHIA calculations.
