Heavy Flavor Production

Heavy flavor production is a sensitive probe of the initial gluon density in the nucleon and is modified by the entire evolution of the hot quark and gluon medium created in high-energy nucleus–nucleus collisions. Besides, it is a process that can be calculated by perturbative QCD because of their large mass. The PHENIX experiment at RHIC studied the heavy flavor productions for a broad momentum and rapidity ranges using single leptons from the semileptonic decay of charm and bottom hadrons, and dileptons from [Formula: see text] decays in [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]A, and Au [Formula: see text] Au collisions at [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]200[Formula: see text]GeV. In these proceedings, the recent experimental results in [Formula: see text], Au [Formula: see text] Au, and the small collision systems are presented and the heavy flavor productions and their modifications are discussed.

Time Projection

Dielectron signal reconstruction is an important tool for heavy flavor measurements because of its trigger feasibility and its relatively straightforward particle identification process. However, in the case of time projection chamber detectors, some hadron contamination is unavoidable, even if additional means are used to improve the particle identification process. In this paper, we investigate the effects of hadron (protons, pions, and kaons) contamination on the dielectron signal reconstruction process in the measurement ofJ/ψand electrons from heavy flavor hadron decays.

Heavy Flavor Production

The study of heavy flavor production in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions is a sensitive probe of the hot and dense matter created in such collisions. Installation of silicon vertex detectors in the PHENIX experiment, and increased performance of the BNL RHIC collider allowed collection of large amount of data on heavy flavor production in small colliding systems. In this talk we will present recent PHENIX results on open heavy flavor and quarkonia production in p+p, p+A, d+A, and He3+A colliding systems in a broad rapidity range, and discuss how these measurements help us to better understand all stages of nuclear collisions at high energy.
