QCD Predictions for Charm and Bottom Production at RHIC
read the original abstract
We make up-to-date QCD predictions for open charm and bottom production at RHIC in nucleon-nucleon collisions at \sqrt{S} = 200 GeV. We also calculate the electron spectrum resulting from heavy flavor decays to allow direct comparison to the data. A rigorous benchmark, including the theoretical uncertainties, is established against which nuclear collision data can be compared to obtain evidence for nuclear effects.

Memory effect on the heavy quark dynamics in hot QCD matter
Time-correlated thermal noise modeled with a fractional derivative substantially alters heavy quark momentum correlations, displacement, and transverse-momentum moments in hot QCD matter.

Sensitivity of Heavy-Quark Dipolar Flow to its Initial Spatial Distributions in Cu+Au Collisions
In Cu+Au collisions, heavy-quark directed flow is an order of magnitude larger than charged-hadron flow and shows strong sensitivity to initial spatial distributions and temperature-dependent drag.
