Description:
  'We report measurements of the production of prompt $D^0$, $D^+$, $D^{∗+}$ and $D^+_\text{s}$ mesons in Pb-Pb collisions
  at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon pair $\sqrt{s_\text{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV, in the centrality classes 0-10%,
  30-50% and 60-80%. The $D$-meson production yields are measured at mid-rapidity (|y|<0.5) as a function of transverse
  momentum ($p_\text{T}$). The $p_\text{T}$ intervals covered in central collisions are $1 < p_\text{T} < 50$ GeV/c for
  $D^0$, $2 < p_\text{T} < 50$ GeV/c for $D^+$, $3 < p_\text{T} < 50$ GeV/c for $D^{*+}$, and $4 < p_\text{T} < 16$ GeV/c
  for $D^+_\text{s}$ mesons. The nuclear modification factors ($R_\text{AA}$) for non-strange $D$ mesons
  ($D^0$, $D^+$, $D^{∗+}$) show minimum values of about 0.2 for $p_\text{T}$ = 6-10 GeV/c in the most central collisions
  and are compatible within uncertainties with those measured at $\sqrt{s_\text{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV. For $D^+_\text{s}$ mesons,
  the values of $R_\text{AA}$ are larger than those of non-strange $D$ mesons, but compatible within uncertainties.
  In central collisions the average $R_\text{AA}$ of non-strange $D$ mesons is compatible with that of charged particles
  for $p_\text{T} > 8$ GeV/c, while it is larger at lower $p_\text{T}$. The nuclear modification factors for strange and
  non-strange $D$ mesons are also compared to theoretical models with different implementations of in-medium energy loss.'
