Heavy-flavor measurements with the PHENIX experiment at RHIC Original Research Article

The PHENIX experiment has measured the contribution of heavy-flavor decays to single-electron spectra in Au + Au collisions at√sNN = 130GeV and 200 GeV at RHIC, providing a first measure of the total charm yield and its dependence on collision centrality at the se energies. In addition,J/Ψ charmonium states were reconstructed by PHENIX in their dilepton decay channels in p+p and Au+Au collisions at√sNN = 200GeV.
