Production of heavy flavours involves large momentum transfer processes during collisions. Heavy quarks are expected to be produced in the initial stage of collisions and therefore prior to the formation of the QGP in heavy-ion collisions. Consequently, heavy quarks travel through and interact with the QGP. Hence, measuring both open and hidden heavy-flavour production in large systems provides information on the QGP properties and heavy quark hadronisation. Heavy-flavour production is measured in small and large systems with ALICE in order to test (perturbative) QCD and study the effects induced by the medium. In this contribution, recent ALICE results on heavy-flavour production in pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions are reported.","PeriodicalId":8429,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: High Energy Physics - Experiment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79255512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system was equipped with a 4$pi$ active shield using a liquid scintillator to reject external backgrounds. The internal backgrounds caused by the radioactive impurities within the CaF$_2$ crystals can be effectively reduced by observing the signal pulse shape. We analyzed the data observed in the Kamioka underground for the live-time of 130.4 days to evaluate the feasibility of the low background measurement with the CANDLES-III detector. Moreover, we estimated the number of background events from the simulation based on the radioactive impurities in the CaF$_{2}$ crystals and the rate of high energy $gamma$-rays caused by the (n, $gamma$) reaction induced by environmental neutrons. The expected background rate was in a good agreement with the measured rate. In conclusion, the background candidates were properly estimated by comparing the measured energy spectrum with the background simulations. Consequently, no events were observed in the Q$_{betabeta}$-value region when 21 high purity CaF$_{2}$ crystals were selected. This gave a lower limit on the half-life of T$^{0nubetabeta}_{1/2}$ $ge$ 5.6 $times$ 10$^{22}$ yr (90% confidence level) for the 0$nubetabeta$ decay of $^{48}$Ca. With this measurement, we achieved the first 0$nubetabeta$ decay search in a low background condition with a detector using a Ca isotope, which was not enriched but natural, in a scale of hundreds of kg. The $^{48}$Ca isotope has a high potential for the 0$nubetabeta$ decay search, and expected to be useful for the development of the next detector for a highly sensitive measurement.","PeriodicalId":8429,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: High Energy Physics - Experiment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83905436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
