Abstract

We report on recent heavy flavor measurements from the STAR experiment at RHIC[1]. The measured charm cross section in heavy-ion collisions scales with the number of binary collisions, which is an indication for exclusive charm production in the initial state of the collision. The observed strong suppression of non-photonic electrons at high pT in Au+Au collisions together with the azimuthal correlation measurements in p+p collisions imply a suppression of B production in heavy-ion collisions. We also present recent measurements of the cross section in p+p collisions.
