This thesis investigates the physics of charmed hadrons in high-energy proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions by studying the production of charm mesons with and without strange-quark content in different colliding systems. It also examines the participation of the charm quark in the QGP and the prospects for future measurements with the upgraded ALICE apparatus and machine learning techniques.

This thesis delves into the intricate realm of the physics of charmed hadrons in high-energy proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions. Due to their substantial masses, charm quarks are generated during the initial stages of heavy-ion collisions and undergo a complete evolution, exploring the color-deconfined medium known as quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formed in these collisions. In this thesis, we explore the mechanisms of charm-quark in-medium energy loss and hadronization through the analysis of the production of charm mesons with (D s + ) and without (D + ) strange-quark content in various colliding systems, utilizing data collected by the ALICE experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We also investigate the participation of the charm quark and its potential thermalization within the QGP through measurements of azimuthal anisotropies in the production of D + mesons. Finally, we present the prospects for future measurements with the upgraded ALICE experimental apparatus and advanced machine learning techniques.
