Heavy Flavor Tracker (HFT) : A new inner tracking device at STAR

Abstract

The HFT, a new inner tracking detector for STAR, aims to measure the charmed hadron nuclear modification factor as well as their elliptic flow to the low $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ region ($\sim$0.5 GeV/c) by measuring the displaced vertices of charmed particles.
