SEMILEPTONIC DECAYS OF HEAVY MESONS AT RHIC
Abstract
We discuss production of nonphotonic electrons in proton-proton scattering at RHIC. The distributions in rapidity and transverse momentum of charm and bottom quarks/antiquarks are calculated in the kt-factorization approach. The hadronization of heavy quarks is done by means of Peterson and Braaten et al. fragmentation functions. The semileptonic decay functions are found by fitting recent semileptonic data obtained by the CLEO and BABAR collaborations.
