STAR experiment investigates the formation of the Quark Gluon
Plasma via the heavy ion collisions taking place at the
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider situated at Brookhaven National
Laboratory, Upton, NY. The production of charm quark occurs in the
early stages of the heavy ion collisions dominantly via gluon
fusion. Due to the fact that the yield of charm is affected by the
conditions of the early stages of the collision, the measurement of
the charm production provides a useful tool for description of the
initial stage that took place. One of the most important findings
of the experiments at RHIC was the discovery of the anomalous
quenching of jets when passing through the hot and dense matter
build in nucleus-nucleus collisions. Heavy quarks measured through
non-photonic electron yields in heavy-ion reactions at RHIC,
exhibit a larger suppression than expected from the theoretical
considerations.n order to comprehend this puzzle and understand
better the flavor dependence of the jet quenching, the separation
of charm and beauty contributions as well as the measurement of
their quenching is necessary.
