Abstract

We present up-to-date QCD predictions for open charm and bottom production at RHIC in nucleon-nucleon collisions at √(S) = 200 GeV. The electron spectrum resulting from heavy flavor decays is also evaluated for direct comparison to the PHENIX and STAR data. These predictions seek to establish a rigorous benchmark, including the theoretical uncertainties, against which nuclear collision data can be compared to obtain evidence for nuclear effects.
