Motivation

Perturbative QCD calculations (FONLL) are consistent with experimental data.

STAR Preliminary

Charm quarks: mc >> TC, ΛQCD, mu,d,s TQGP(RHIC/LHC) •  Produced early in collision at RHIC through hard scattering •  Experience the whole evolution of the system -> good probe for medium properties

Motivation

Charm cross section follows number of binary collisions scaling => At RHIC, charm quarks are produced via initial hard scatterings.

Results Before HFT

•  Precision measurement is needed to further constrain models and to quantify medium properties.

•  New run 2014 Au+Au results with HFT will be presented -- p+p and p+Au data with HFT are recorded on tape (run 2015)

•  High pT: large suppression due to

energy loss, strong charm-medium interaction.

•  Enhancement at pT ~0.7-2 GeV/c, described by models with coalescence of charm and light quarks.

•  Clean D0 signals reconstructed with significantly enhanced signal-to-background ratios with the HFT in a broad range of transverse momentum

STAR Preliminary

Efficiency Correction

Embedding (~3% systematic uncertainty) –  Full STAR GEANT simulation + MC embedded in real raw data + data reconstruction chain

⊗D0 efficiency = TPC tracking eff HFT tracking eff topological cuts ⊗

Data-driven simulation (5-15% pT-dependent systematics) •  HFT matching and resolution smearing using distributions extracted

from data: –  HFT eff. × geometrical acceptance: (HFT matched tracks) / TPC tracks. –  Spatial resolution: DCA distributions of HFT matched tracks (XY-Z dependence).

Luminosity, centrality, azimuth and pseudo-rapidity dependence have been considered.

Summary & Outlook

•  First measurement of D0 RAA using STAR HFT. –  Significant suppression at high pT in 0-10% Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV –  Improved data precision with HFT will further constrain different models

•  Near future outlook

–  D0 spectra and RAA with HFT in full pT and peripheral Au+Au collisions –  Year 2015 p+p and p+Au data to improve baseline and to address CNM effects
