Abstract

We present a review of Heavy Flavour production in p+p, d+Au and A+A collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). We focus on two important topics, jet quenching and quarkonia. Anomalous energy loss (jet quenching) of quarks passing through the dense and hot matter build in heavy ion collisions is one of the outstanding discoveries made at RHIC, allowing for an estimate of the initial density. Furthermore, color screening of hidden charm and beauty states is a key signature of the QCD phase transition, allowing an estimate of the initial temperature. We present results on the flavour dependence of jet quenching. Heavy flavour production in A+A as compared to p+p collisions will be discussed for open and hidden charm.
