Description
Heavy flavor production can be investigated in PHENIX via the pT spectra of single electrons. While the total charm yield measured from the Au+Au collisions taken by PHENIX in 2002 scales with the number of binary collisions, single electron pT spectra suggest a strong suppression of the heavy flavor yield at high pT. We present an analysis of the centrality dependence of the electron spectra from heavy quark decays obtained from the high statistics data sample of Au+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV taken in 2004
