Heavy-quark production and elliptic flow in Au$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=62.4$ GeV

Abstract: We present measurements of electrons and positrons from the semileptonic decays of heavyflavor hadrons at midrapidity (|y| < 0.35) in Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 62.4 GeV. The data were collected in 2010 by the PHENIX experiment that included the new hadron-blind detector.The invariant yield of electrons from heavy-flavor decays is measured as a function of transverse momentum in the range 1 < p e T < 5 GeV/c. The invariant yield per binary collision is slightly enhanced above the p+p reference in Au+Au 0%-2… Show more

“…The suppression increases with the transverse momentum, reaching a factor of about four for p T > 4 GeV/c. This strong effect is not observed in Au-Au collisions at √ s NN = 62.4 GeV [467,484] for which, however, the pp reference was not measured at RHIC but taken from ISR data (see left panel of Figure 51). The left panel of Figure 50 also shows the comparison with the R AA measured in d-Au and Cu-Cu collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV: a clear dependence on the colliding system is found.…”

“…The PHENIX Collaboration measured the heavy-flavour decay electron v 2 in Au-Au collisions at √ s NN = 62.4 and 200 GeV using the event plane method [467,469]. Electrons were detected at mid-rapidity |η| < 0.35 in the interval 0.5 < p T < 5 GeV/c.…”

“…20 Values of v 2 for J/ψ at p T = 2 − 10 GeV/c are consistent with zero within statistical errors. 22 Finite v 2 observed for electrons with p T = 1.3−1.8 GeV/c and p T > 2.4 GeV/c from heavy-flavor decays 23 supposes that heavy quarks interact with the environment at higher RHIC energies ( √ s NN ≥ 62.4…”

“…Heavy flavor production and its azimuthal anisotropy was measured via single electrons in Au+Au collisions at a lower energy of √ s NN = 62.4 GeV. [5] Surprisingly, R AA of these single electrons shows an enhancement over the p + p reference at this energy, as seen in Figure 3a. This is opposite to the measurement of the same observable at √ s NN = 200 GeV.…”
