CERN-LHC. The production of prompt charmed mesons D$^0$, D$^+$ and D$^{*+}$, and their antiparticles, was measured with the ALICE detector in Pb-Pb collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair, $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$, of 2.76 TeV. The production yields for rapidity $|y|16~{\rm GeV/}c$) nuclear modification factors ($R_{\rm AA}$) as a function of $p_{\rm T}$ for D mesons with $|y|
