Motivation • Charm is produced mainly through gluon-gluon fusion • in heavy ion collisions • Sensitive to gluon density in initial stage of the collisions • Charm propagates through hot and dense medium created • in the collisions • Energy loss of charms can be tested. • (PHENIX observed high pT suppression in hadron measurements) • PHENIXobserved single electron insNN=130GeV Au+Au collisions. • Consistent with PYTHIA charm assuming binary scaling. • Charm measurements provide an important baseline of J/ • measurement • Charm Measurement • Measure electronsfrom • semi-leptonic decay of • charm and beauty.

Non-photonic electrons can be extracted from data itself. Reality pT[GeV/c]

PHENIX PRELIMINARY PHENIX PRELIMINARY Non-photonic electron in pp • Single electron at sNN=200GeV pp collisions is measured by cocktail method. • Reference for Au+Au data • Data is compared with a PYTHIA charm + beauty. • PYTHIA parameter is tuned by low energy data • Spectrum is harder than PYTHIA calculation at higher pT • Cross section is measured. • Data at lower pT is described by PYTHIA • Changing normalizations of PYTHIA charm and beauty to fit spectral shape
PHENIX PHENIX PHENIX PHENIX PHENIX Comparison with pp • Au+Au data is scaled by TAA and compared with pp data. • Au+Au data at lower pT are consistent with p+p data for all centralities • Need more statistics to study higher pT range • 50 times larger statistics in run4

Summary • Invariant pT distributions of non-photonic electrons are measured in Au+Au collisions at sNN= 200GeV. • Conversion subtraction method is refined • Systematic error is much reduced. • Non-photonic electron spectra are consistent with pp data assuming binary collision scaling (TAA scaling) • The measured yield of non-photonic electrons is consistent with binary scaling. Indicating no strong enhancement or suppression of the total charm yield. • Statistics is too small to limit the energy loss of charm in high pT (pT > 2 [GeV/c]) (RUN4 data) • Run2 data analysis is completed. To be published soon.
