Abstract

Non-photonic electrons (NPE), produced by semileptonic decays of D and B mesons, are good probes to study the properties of hot and dense medium created in relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC. Studies of heavy quark production in p+p collisions can test the validity of perturbative QCD. They also provide a baseline to study the effects of nuclear matter on the production of heavy quarks in heavy ion collisions. In this paper, we present recent results of NPE spectra measured in p+p collisions at = 200 GeV in mid-rapidity. We also report NPE nuclear modification factor RAA and elliptic flow v2 in Au+Au collisions at = 200 GeV.
