Abstract
We report on two new measurements by the PHENIX collaboration regarding open heavy flavor. The first is an additional contribution to the background in the measurement of the yield of electrons at mid-rapidity from open heavy flavor decays. We found that the can contribute substantially to the yield at high . PHENIX has also measured the spectrum of muons at forward rapidity from open heavy flavor decays in Cu+Cu collisions at = 200 GeV.
