Due to their large masses, charm and bottom quarks, are mostly produced during the initial phase of collisions via gluon fusion. Non-photonic electrons (NPE) are mainly produced by semileptonic decays of D and B mesons, hence the study of NPE in hadron-hadron and ion-ion collisions provides the information about heavy quarks production as well as the medium properties. In order to interpret...

Heavy quarks are one of the most valuable probes for the matter produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC. PHENIX experiment being designed specifically to study leptons, so electrons from the decay of heavy quarks acts as one of the most important tools in PHENIX for measurement of heavy quarks. Measurements of electron spectra at mid rapidity region has been done by PHENIX in...

A refined version of a multi-step calculation of heavy-flavour observables in pp and AA collisions has been developed, based on pQCD at NLO accuracy followed by parton shower evolution to describe heavy-quark production and on the relativistic Langevin equation to describe their stochastic evolution in the QCD plasma. Then, hadronization is modeled through an implementation of the available...

Heavy flavors are important probes to study the early phase of ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. We present results on the production and space-time evolution of heavy quarks and J/psi in the quark gluon plasma within the partonic transport model Boltzmann Approach to MultiParton Scatterings (BAMPS). Heavy quarks interact with the medium via binary and radiative...

The medium-induced parton energy loss is expected to depend on its mass and colour charge. At the LHC, heavy quarks are copiously produced. This allows us to provide new constraints on partonic energy loss mechanisms in the medium produced in the heavy-ion collisions. The yield of electrons from semileptonic heavy-flavour decays has been measured at mid-rapidity \mbox{($|y| < 0.8$)} in Pb-Pb...

We evaluate heavy-flavor (HF) transport in relativistic heavy ion collisions within a nonperturbative (strong-coupling) framework. In the Quark-Gluon Plasma, heavy-quark diffusion coefficients are obtained from a potential-based T-matrix approach, which builds up resonance correlations toward the phase transition region. Those resonance correlations are also utilized for hadronizing heavy...
