Beauty production in heavy–ion collisions with ALICE at the LHC.

In this contribution, the measurement of the centrality dependence of the nuclear modification factor (RAA) of non-prompt D0 meson in Pb-Pb collisions at √SNN = 5.02 TeV s NN = 5.02  TeV is presented. This measurement provides important constraints to the in-medium mass dependence of energy loss and hadroniza-tion of the beauty quark. In addition, the first measurements of non-prompt Ds+ Ds + meson production in central and semi-central Pb-Pb collisions at √SNN = 5.02 TeV s NN = 5.02  TeV are discussed. The non-prompt Ds+ Ds + meson measurements provide further information on the production and hadronization of Bs0 Bs 0 mesons. Finally, the first measurement of non-prompt D-meson elliptic flow in Pb-Pb collisions at √SNN = 5.02 TeV s NN = 5.02  TeV is shown. This measurement can help to investigate the degree of thermalization of beauty quarks in the hot and dense QCD medium. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
