Abstract

We report the preliminary results of the azimuthal correlations between D*± mesons and charged hadrons (D*-h) measured by the STAR experiment in proton+proton collisions at s=500 GeV. Results at mid-rapidity in the transverse-momentum range 8≤pTD⁎≤20 GeV/c are compared with light hadron triggered correlations (h-h) and PYTHIA predictions. We also present an exploratory study of azimuthal correlations between D*+ and D*− mesons in p+p collisions. The prospects of measuring heavy-flavor triggered correlations in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC energies are also discussed.
