DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Grazia Luparello ()\nRecent ALICE results on open he
 avy-flavour and quarkonia production \nGrazia Luparello for the ALICE Coll
 aboration\n(INFN Trieste)\n\nThe ALICE experiment is designed to study the
  hot and dense medium\, the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP)\, produced in ultra-r
 elativistic heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. \nDue to their large masses\,
  heavy quarks (charm and beauty) are produced in the early stages of the h
 eavy-ion collisions\, through hard-parton scatterings\, and their abundanc
 es are preserved throughout the subsequent evolution of the medium. Theref
 ore they represent ideal probes for characterising the QGP and for studyin
 g its transport properties. \nIn particular\, the measurement of the produ
 ction of open heavy-flavour hadrons in nucleus-nucleus collisions can give
  insight in the mechanisms of in-medium energy loss\, propagation and hadr
 onisation of heavy quarks. \nThe sequential suppression of the quarkonium 
 states by colour screening was initially proposed as a signature of QGP fo
 rmation. However\, results  on  charmonium  suppression in Pb–Pb collisi
 ons at the LHC seem to indicate that additional mechanisms\, such as the (
 re)combination of charm and anti-charm quarks\, play a role\, leading to a
  more complex picture of the quarkonium melting in the QGP.\n \nThe ALICE 
 experiment is well suited for measuring of both open heavy-flavour hadrons
  and quarkonia at mid and forward rapidities\, exploiting several differen
 t experimental techniques. \n\nThis talk will present a review of the ALIC
 E results on open heavy-flavour and quarkonium production with a particula
 r focus on the studies in Pb-Pb collisions at $\\sqrt(s_{NN}) = 5.02$ TeV.
