    abstract = "Measurements of the production of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays
in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 5.02 and 2.76 TeV using the ALICE
detector at the LHC are reported. The nuclear modification factor R-AA
at root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV is measured at forward rapidity (2.5 < y < 4)
as a function of transverse momentum p(T) in central, semi-central, and
peripheral collisions over a wide p(T) interval, 3 < p(T) < 20 GeV/c, in
which muons from beauty-hadron decays are expected to take over from
charm as the dominant source at high p(T) (p(T) > 7 GeV/c). The R-AA
shows an increase of the suppression of the yields of muons from
heavy-flavour hadron decays with increasing centrality. A suppression by
a factor of about three is observed in the 10% most central collisions.
The R-AA at root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV is similar to that at root s(NN) =
2.76 TeV. The precise R-AA measurements have the potential to
distinguish between model predictions implementing different mechanisms
of parton energy loss in the high-density medium formed in heavy-ion
collisions. They place important constraints for the understanding of
the heavy-quark interaction with the hot and dense QCD medium. (C) 2021
