摘要:We present up-to-date QCD predictions for open charm and bottom production at RHIC in
nucleon-nucleon collisions at pS = 200 GeV. The electron spectrum resulting from heavy flavor
decays is also evaluated for direct comparison to the PHENIX and STAR data. These predictions
seek to establish a rigorous benchmark, including the theoretical uncertainties, against
which nuclear collision data can be compared to obtain evidence for nuclear effects.
