Measurement of Open Heavy-Flavour Production in pp and p-Pb Collisions with ALICE at the LHC

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN allows us to study heavy-ion collisions at an un-precedented energy. ALICE, A Large Ion Collider Experiment, is the experiment dedicated to the investigation of heavy-ion collisions. In this contribution, recent open heavy-flavour results from pp collisions at -root s= 5.02, 7, 8 and 13 TeV and p-Pb collisions at .root(NN)-N-s = 5.02 TeV, collected with the ALICE detector during the LHC Run-1 and Run-2 are presented. The results include the production cross section, nuclear modification factor and multiplicity dependence studies of production of D mesons and electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at mid-rapidity and of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity. Charm production was measured down to PT = 0 GeV/c in pp and p-Pb collisions. Recent measurements of the production cross section of heavy charmed baryons such as Lambda(c) (in pp and p-Pb) and Xi(c) (in pp) are discussed. The results are compared with theoretical model predictions.
