Phenomenology of Heavy Flavors in Ultrarelativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions
Abstract
Some recent experimental results obtained in collisions of heavy nuclei (s=200 GeV) at BNL Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) are discussed. The probes of dense matter created in heavy-ion collision by quarkonia, D and B mesons containing heavy charm and beauty quarks are considered. The centrality, rapidity and transverse momentum dependences of the nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow coefficient are presented and their possible theoretical interpretation is provided.
