Flow measurements of multi-strange baryons from Au + Au collisions at RHIC energies demonstrate that collectivity develops before hadronization, among partons. To pin down the partonic EOS of matter produced at RHIC, the status of thermalization in such collisions has to be addressed. We propose to measure collective flow of heavy-flavor quarks, e.g. charm quarks, as an indicator of thermalization of light flavors ($u,d,s$). The completion of the time of flight barrel and the proposed upgrade with a $mu$Vertex detector for heavy-flavor identification in STAR are well suited for achieving these goals.

The Linear Boltzmann Transport (LBT) model coupled to hydrodynamical background is extended to include transport of both light partons and heavy quarks through the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. The LBT model includes both elastic and inelastic medium-interaction of both primary jet shower partons and thermal recoil partons within perturbative QCD (pQCD). It is shown to simultaneously describe the experimental data on heavy and light flavor hadron suppression in high-energy heavy-ion collisions for different centralities at RHIC and LHC energies. More detailed investigations within the LBT model illustrate the importance of both initial parton spectra and the shapes of fragmentation functions on the difference between the nuclear modifications of light and heavy flavor hadrons. The dependence of the jet quenching parameter $hat{q}$ on medium temperature and jet flavor is quantitatively extracted.
Open heavy flavor and quarkonium are unique probes of the hot-dense medium produced in heavy-ion collisions. Their production in p+p collisions also provide important test of QCD. In this paper, we review the selected results on open heavy flavor and quarkonium in p+p and heavy-ion collisions achieved at RHIC. Physics implications are also discussed.
We present the recent results on non-photonic electron (NPE) yields from RHIC run8 p+p collisions. The $e/pi$ ratio as a function of $p_T$ in run8 with a factor of 10 reduction of the inner detector material at STAR is found to be consistent with those results from run3 taking into account the NPE from charm leptonic decay and the difference of photonic electron yield from photon conversion in detector material. Jpsi spectra in pp and cucu collisions at sNN = 200 GeV with high sampled luminosity Jpsi spectrum at high-pT follows $x_T$ scaling, but the scaling is violated at low pT. $J/psi$-hadron correlations in pp collisions are studied to understand the Jpsi production mechanism at high $p_T$. We observed an absence of charged hadrons accompanying Jpsi on the near-side, in contrast to the strong correlation peak in the di-hadron correlations. This constrains the $B$-meson contribution and jet fragmentation to inclusive Jpsi to be ${}^{<}_{sim}17%$. Yields in minimum-bias cucu collisions are consistent with those in pp collisions scaled by the underlying binary nucleon-nucleon collisions in the measured pT range. Other measurements and future projects related to heavy-flavors are discussed.
Studies of charm and beauty production in ep collisions with a center-of-mass energy of 318 GeV are reported from the two HERA collaborations, H1 and ZEUS. The analyses make use of both the HERA-I data sample recorded between 1996 and 2000 and a sample from HERA-II, which started in 2003. The cross sections measured by both H1 and ZEUS experiments are compared with next-to-leading order QCD calculations. The measurement of the charm and beauty contributions to the proton structure function is also presented. The comparison to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculations shows agreement within the errors.
Heavy-flavored hadrons are unique probes to study the properties of hot and dense QCD medium produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC. Transverse spherocity is one of the event-topology variables used to separate jetty and isotropic events from the pool of event samples. This study aims to understand the production dynamics of heavy-flavors through the transverse momentum spectra, double differential yield and mean transverse momentum of J/$psi$, $rm D^{0}$ and $Lambda_{c}^{+}$ as a function of charged-particle multiplicity and transverse spherocity. Further to investigate the possibility of hardonization of the charm quarks, transverse spherocity dependence ratios like $Lambda_{c}^{+}$/$rm D^{0}$ and $Lambda^{0}$/$K^{-}$ are studied. For the current analysis, the events are generated by using 4C tuned PYTHIA8 for pp at $sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV, which is quite successful in explaining the heavy-flavor particle production at the LHC energies.
