Abstract

Although heavy quark and dilepton measurements share many aspects in their experimental determination, they probe rather different aspects of the collision. Leptons do not interact strongly and are thereby free to leave the medium during all stages of its evolution, hence earning the name "penetrating probes". Conversely, charm measurements (measured in PHENIX via semi-leptonic decay modes) are most remarkable in that they indicate a significant modification of the heavy quark spectrum through interactions with the medium. In this paper, we discuss a selection of intriguing results in both domains and the outlook for the future.
