O ct 2 00 5 PHENIX Results on Open Heavy Flavor Production and Flow in Au + Au Collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents recent PHENIX results for the nuclear modification factor R AA in Au + Au Collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV for the electrons originating from semi-leptonic decays of open heavy flavor carrying particles. We also report the results of the azimuthal asymmetry (v 2) measurement for those electrons, which is directly related to the heavy quark elliptic flow.

O ct 2 00 5 Heavy flavor production in p + p and d + Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV from single leptons over a wide kinematic range
The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has measured single electrons at midrapidity and single muons at forward and backward rapidities (1.2 < |y| < 2.2) for p+p and d+Au collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV. The inclusive lepton spectra exhibit excesses over light hadron sources. The excesses are attributed to semileptonic decays of charm and bottom hadrons and compared to the...

We report the first results of the nuclear modification factors and elliptic flow of the φ mesons measured by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC in high luminosity Au+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV. The nuclear modification factors RAA and RCP of the φ follow the same trend of suppression as π’s in Au+Au collisions. In d+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV, the φ mesons are not suppressed. The ellipt...

We present the preliminary results on φ meson production in the φ → K + K − and φ → e + e − decay channels measured at mid-rapidity in √ s = 200 GeV d + Au collisions at RHIC by the PHENIX experiment. The transverse mass spectra were obtained in both channels. The extracted φ yields are found to be consistent with each other. The results are compared to the measurements in Au + Au collisions at...

We report on the measurement of D meson production from the analysis of their hadronic (D 0 → Kπ) and semileptonic (D → µ + X, D → e + X) decays in √ s N N =200 GeV Au+Au collisions. The transverse momentum (p T) spectra and the nuclear modification factors for D 0 and for electron/muon ‡ from charm semileptonic decays will be presented. The differential cross section dσ/dy is found to be consi...
متن کاملHeavy Flavor Production at PHENIX at RHIC
A study of heavy flavor production in different collision systems in various kinematic regions presents an opportunity to probe cold nuclear medium and hot dense matter effects. Results from the PHENIX experiment on J/ψ and open charm production in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at sNN =200 GeV are presented. The data show strong J/ψ suppression in central AA collisions, similar to NA50 results, an...
