| Abstract | In this paper, we present our analysis of mid-rapidity non-photonic electron (NPE) production at p(T) > 0.2 GeV/c in p+p collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV. The data set is similar to 78 M TOF-triggered events taken from RHIC year 2008 runs. Through the measurement of the e/pi ratio, we find that the photonic background electrons from gamma conversions are reduced by about a factor of 10 compared with those in STAR previous runs due to the absence of inner tracking detectors and the supporting materials. The dramatic increase of the signal-to-background ratio will allow us to improve the precision on extracting the charm cross section via its semi-leptonic decays to electrons. |
