Abstract

Abstract Heavy quarks are one of the most valuable probes for the matter produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions. PHENIX experiment @ RHIC is designed specifically to study leptons, so electrons from the decay of heavy quarks are one of the most important tools in PHENIX for the study of heavy flavour production. Measurements of electron spectra at mid rapidity region has been done by PHENIX in broad p T regions for various collision species starting from p+p to Au+Au. The techniques used by PHENIX for measuring electrons from heavy quarks and the latest results in collision species p+p, d+Au, Cu+Cu and Au+Au will be discussed in this article.
