We report a measurement of $e^+e^-$ pairs from semileptonic heavy-flavor decays in $p$+$p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$~GeV. The $e^+e^-$ pair yield from $b\bar{b}$ and $c\bar{c}$ is separated by exploiting a double differential fit…

Previous results indicated that high $p_T$ particle suppression in Au+Au interactions is a final state effect, since R$_{dA}$ ratios were compatible with unity, albeit within large experimental errors. It is important to test this…
