Abstract

Transverse momentum spectra of electrons from [Formula presented] collisions at [Formula presented] have been measured at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The spectra show an excess above the background from photon conversions and light hadron decays. The electron signal is consistent with that expected from semileptonic decays of charm. The yield of the electron signal [Formula presented] for [Formula presented] is [Formula presented] in central collisions, and the corresponding charm cross section is [Formula presented] per binary nucleon-nucleon collision.

N2 - Transverse momentum spectra of electrons from [Formula presented] collisions at [Formula presented] have been measured at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The spectra show an excess above the background from photon conversions and light hadron decays. The electron signal is consistent with that expected from semileptonic decays of charm. The yield of the electron signal [Formula presented] for [Formula presented] is [Formula presented] in central collisions, and the corresponding charm cross section is [Formula presented] per binary nucleon-nucleon collision.
