Heavy Flavor Tracker (HFT): A new inner tracking device at STAR
Abstract
The HFT, a new inner tracking detector for STAR, aims to measure the charmed hadron nuclear modification factor as well as their elliptic flow to the low p region (∼0.5 GeV/c) by measuring the displaced vertices of charmed particles.
