The first measurement of $B$ meson semi-leptonic decay contribution to non-photonic electrons at RHIC

Abstract

We present the first measurement for the $B$ meson semi-leptonic decay contribution to non-photonic electrons at RHIC using non-photonic electron azimuthal correlations with charged hadrons in p+p collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV from STAR.
