Description

We compute electron and muon productions from the charm semileptonic decays in proton-lead collisions at the LHC within the Color Glass Condensate framework. At the LHC energies, open heavy flavor and quarkonium productions are expected to have an access to the small-$x$ region of hadronic wavefunctions, where the nonlinear character of the dense gluon system becomes manifest. Leptonic channels of heavy flavor decays are important observables, but the information on the small-$x$ gluons are relatively indirect there. In this presentation, we will show electron and muon spectra of heavy-flavor decays at low-$P_\perp$ and their two-particle correlations. We will discuss in which kinematical region the saturation effects are well reflected in the lepton distributions.
