    abstract = "The ALICE Collaboration has measured the inclusive production of muons
from heavy-flavor decays at forward rapidity, 2.5 < y < 4, in pp and
Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV. The p(t)-differential
inclusive cross section of muons from heavy-flavor decays in pp
collisions is compared to perturbative QCD calculations. The nuclear
modification factor is studied as a function of p(t) and collision
centrality. A weak suppression is measured in peripheral collisions. In
the most central collisions, a suppression of a factor of about 3-4 is
observed in 6 < p(t) < 10 GeV/c. The suppression shows no significant
p(t) dependence."
