      abstract     = {The first measurements of the production of muons and
                      electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays in Xe–Xe
                      collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.44 TeV, using the
                      ALICE detector at the LHC, are reported. The measurement of
                      the nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$ is performed as a
                      function of transverse momentum $p_T$ in several centrality
                      classes at forward rapidity (2.5 < y < 4) and midrapidity
                      (|y| < 0.8) for muons and electrons from heavy-flavour
                      hadron decays, respectively. A suppression by a factor up to
                      about 2.5 compared to the binary-scaled pp reference is
                      observed in central collisions at both central and forward
                      rapidities. The $R_{AA}$ of muons from heavy-flavour hadron
                      decays is compared to previous measurements in Pb–Pb
                      collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV. When the
                      nuclear modification factors are compared in the centrality
                      classes 0–10\% for Xe–Xe collisions and 10–20\% for
                      Pb–Pb collisions, which have similar charged-particle
                      multiplicity density, a similar suppression, with $R_{AA}$
                      ∼ 0.4 in the $p_T$ interval 4 < $p_T$ < 8 GeV/c, is
                      observed. The comparison of the measured $R_{AA}$ values in
                      the two collision systems brings new insights on the
                      properties of the quark-gluon plasma by investigating the
                      system-size and geometry dependence of medium-induced parton
                      energy loss. The results of muons and electrons from
                      heavy-flavour hadron decays provide new constraints to model
                      calculations.},
