Electron-Hadron Correlations in pp Collisions at \sqrt{s} = 2.76 TeV
with the ALICE experiment    [PDF]

E. Pereira de Oliveira Filho, for the ALICE Collaboration

In this work we are studying the relative beauty to charm production in pp collisions at \sqrt{s} = 2.76 TeV, through correlations between electrons from heavy-flavour decay and charged hadrons, with the ALICE detector at the LHC. This study represents a baseline for the analysis in heavy-ion collisions where heavy flavour production is a powerful tool to study the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP).
