Heavy-quark production and elliptic flow in Au + Au collisions atsNN=62.4GeV

Abstract: We present measurements of electrons and positrons from the semileptonic decays of heavyflavor hadrons at midrapidity (|y| < 0.35) in Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 62.4 GeV. The data were collected in 2010 by the PHENIX experiment that included the new hadron-blind detector. The invariant yield of electrons from heavy-flavor decays is measured as a function of transverse momentum in the range 1 < p e T < 5 GeV/c. The invariant yield per binary collision is slightly enhanced above the p+p reference in Au+Au 0%-… Show more

“…That mechanism potentially moderates the large suppression observed in Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV. It is notable that in central Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 62 GeV an enhancement is also observed at intermediate p T [22].…”

“…It has been one of the major qualitative discoveries of the heavy ion collision program at RHIC and LHC that charm quarks appear to flow about as efficiently as light quarks do (see, e.g., refs. [8][9][10] and references therein). That a flow develops is an example of a relaxation towards local thermal equilibrium.…”

“…Since dark matter is such an exciting area of current research, the WASA limit could not be the last word on the subject. In the year that followed there were measurements by collaborations at HADES [342], BaBar [343], MAMI [344], PHENIX [345], and NA48/2 [346] and the much stricter upper limits found by summing all these later results seem to exclude almost completely dark photons as being the origin of the g-2 discrepancy. However, in general these were inclusive measurements and the WASA data still represents the best exclusive measurement of the Dalitz decay of the π 0 .…”
