New Measurement of Heavy-Flavor Electron v2 and Separation of Bottom and Charm Using VTX in PHENIX

Heavy quarks are important probes to understand the properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in the relativistic heavy-ion collision. The PHENIX measurement of electrons from heavy-flavor decays shows large flow and strong suppression in Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV [1][2], which is not well understood. In these proceedings, we will present both the new PHENIX heavy-flavor electron v2 results in Au+Au collisions at 62.4 GeV collisions using the Hadron Blind Detector (HBD) and the latest PHENIX measurement of charm and bottom separately in p+p collisions at 200 GeV with the recently installed Silicon Vertex Track (VTX)
