Abstract
Heavy quarks (charm and bottom) are a sensitive probe of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in high-energy nuclear collisions. The modification of their phase-space distribution in the QGP reflects the physical property of the QGP because they are generated in the early stage of collisions and subsequently propagate through the QGP. PHENIX has published the first measurement of the nuclear modification factors RAA of separated charm and bottom hadron decay electrons in minimum bias Au+Au collisions at sNN=200GeV using the 2011 data set. In these proceedings, we present RAA(c→e) and RAA(b→e) in most central Au+Au collisions at sNN=200GeV using 1/8 of our large 2014–2016 data set.
