Abstract

We present the measurement of azimuthal angular correlations between electrons and charged hadrons in pp collisions at 2.76 TeV measured with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. The correlation distributions from PYTHIA simulations are used to extract the relative contribution from B-hadron decays to the yield of electrons from heavy-flavour decays up to pt=10GeV/c.
