Heavy Flavor and Jets at RHIC

Abstract

We present recent results for heavy flavor and jets produced in $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV p-p, d-Au, Cu-Cu and Au-Au collisions at at RHIC. We find J/$\psi$ production is suppressed in Au-Au, but high energy J/$\psi$ are not suppressed in d-Au or Cu-Cu. Non-photonic electrons from D and B mesons are both suppressed in Au-Au. We study jets using two-particle 2D angular correlations as well as jet reconstruction algorithms. We find that jets show little if any suppression, but are highly modified in central Au-Au, becoming elongated in the $\eta$ direction and having fewer high-$p_t$ particles but many more low-$p_t$ particles for central Au-Au.
