The elliptic flow, $v_{2}$, of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity ($2.5<y<4$) is measured in Pb-Pb collisions at $\\sqrt{s_{\\rm NN}}=2.76$ TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The scalar product, two- and four-particle $Q$ cumulants and Lee-Yang zeros methods are used. The dependence of the $v_{2}$ of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays on the collision centrality, in the range $0$-$40\\%$, and on transverse momentum, $p_{\\rm T}$, is studied in the interval $3<p_{\\rm T}<10$ GeV/$c$. A positive $v_{2}$ is observed with the scalar product and two-particle $Q$ cumulants in semi-central collisions ($10$-$20$% and $20$-$40$% centrality classes) for the $p_{\\rm T}$ interval from $3$ to about $5$ GeV/$c$ with a significance larger than $3\\sigma$, based on the combination of statistical and systematic uncertainties. The $v_{2}$ magnitude tends to decrease towards more central collisions and with increasing $p_{\nm T}$. It becomes compatible with zero in the interval $6<p_{\\rm T}<10$ GeV/$c$. The results are compared to models describing the interaction of heavy quarks and open heavy-flavour hadrons with the high-density medium formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.","hasPart":[{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t1","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential inclusive muon $v_{2}$ extracted with scalar product method.","name":"Table 1"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t2","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential inclusive muon $v_{2}$ extracted with two-particle $Q$ cumulants method.","name":"Table 2"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t3","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential inclusive muon $v_{2}$ extracted with scalar product method.","name":"Table 3"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t4","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential inclusive muon $v_{2}$ extracted with two-particle $Q$ cumulants method.","name":"Table 4"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t5","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential inclusive muon $v_{2}$ extracted with scalar product method.","name":"Table 5"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t6","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential inclusive muon $v_{2}$ extracted with two-particle cumulants method.","name":"Table 6"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t7","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential inclusive muon $v_{2}$ extracted with four-particle cumulants method.","name":"Table 7"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t8","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential inclusive muon $v_{2}$ extracted with Lee-Yang zeros (Sum) method.","name":"Table 8"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t9","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential inclusive muon $v_{2}$ extracted with Lee-Yang zeros (Prod) method.","name":"Table 9"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t10","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential $v_{2}$ of muons from heavy-flavour decays extracted with scalar product method.","name":"Table 10"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t11","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential $v_{2}$ of muons from heavy-flavour decays extracted with two-particle $Q$ cumulants method.","name":"Table 11"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t12","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential $v_{2}$ of muons from heavy-flavour decays extracted with scalar product method.","name":"Table 12"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t13","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential $v_{2}$ of muons from heavy-flavour decays extracted with two-particle $Q$ cumulants method.","name":"Table 13"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t14","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential $v_{2}$ of muons from heavy-flavour decays extracted with scalar product method.","name":"Table 14"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t15","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential $v_{2}$ of muons from heavy-flavour decays extracted with two-particle cumulants method.","name":"Table 15"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t16","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential $v_{2}$ of muons from heavy-flavour decays extracted with four-particle cumulants method.","name":"Table 16"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t17","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential $v_{2}$ of muons from heavy-flavour decays extracted with Lee-Yang zeros (Sum) method.","name":"Table 17"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t18","@type":"Dataset","description":"pT-differential $v_{2}$ of muons from heavy-flavour decays extracted with Lee-Yang zeros (Prod) method.","name":"Table 18"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t19","@type":"Dataset","description":"Elliptic flow of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays as a function of the collision centrality extracted with scalar product method.","name":"Table 19"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.39929.v1/t20","@type":"Dataset","description":"Elliptic flow of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays as a function of the collision centrality extracted with two-particle cumulants method.","name":"Table 20"}],"identifier":[{"@type":"PropertyValue","propertyID":"HEPDataRecord","value":"https://www.hepdata.net/record/ins1382591?version=1"},{"@type":"PropertyValue","propertyID":"HEPDataRecordAlt","value":"https://www.hepdata.net/record/39929"}],"inLanguage":"en","name":"Elliptic flow of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at $\\sqrt{s_{\\rm NN}}=2.76$ TeV","provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"HEPData"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"HEPData"},"url":"https://www.hepdata.net/record/ins1382591?version=1","version":1}
