Single leptons from heavy-flavor decays at RHIC

Abstract

Inclusive transverse momentum spectra of single electrons from Au+Au collisions have been measured at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 130 GeV and 200 GeV at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. After subtraction of background from photon conversions and light hadron decays, the spectra appear consistent with semileptonic decays of charmed particles.
