摘要
A study of heavy flavor production in different collision systems in various kinematic regions presents an opportunity to probe cold nuclear medium and hot dense matter effects. Results from the PHENIX experiment on J/psi and open charm production in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at root s(NN) =200 GeV are presented. The data show strong J/psi suppression in central AA collisions, similar to NA50 results, and strong suppression in high PT open charm production. The J/psi production in Au+Au and d+Au. collisions is compared to understand the cold nuclear medium effects. The data show significant cold nuclear effects in charm production in d+Au collisions at forward and backward rapidity ranges.
