Abstract
The PHENIX experiment has measured single electron spectra at RHIC in proton–proton (p–p), deuteron–gold (d–Au), and gold–gold (Au–Au) collisions at an available energy per nucleon–nucleon pair of . Contributions from photonic sources, i.e. Dalitz decays of light mesons and photon conversions, are subtracted from the inclusive spectra. The remaining non-photonic single electron spectra are dominated by semileptonic decays of particles carrying heavy flavour. Implications of these systematic measurements for heavy flavour production in cold and hot nuclear systems are discussed.
