Study of azimuthal correlations between D mesons and charged particles with the ALICE experiment

A study of azimuthal correlations between D${}^0$, D${}^{+}$, and D${}^{\ast +}$ and charged particles in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{N}\mathrm{N}}}$ = 5.02 TeV is presented. D mesons were reconstructed from their hadronic decays at central rapidity ($\mathrm{\mid }y\mathrm{\mid }<0.5$) in the transverse momentum range $3\le p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{D}}\le 16$ GeV/$c$ and they were correlated with charged particles reconstructed in the pseudorapidity range $\mathrm{\mid }\eta \mathrm{\mid }<0.8$. Perspectives for the measurement in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{N}\mathrm{N}}}$ = 5.5 TeV after the ALICE upgrade are presented as well.
