    "abstract": "We study the effect of energy loss on charm and bottom quarks in high-energy\nheavy-ion collisions including longitudinal expansion and partial\nthermalization. We find that high $p_\\perp$ heavy quarks are greatly\nsuppressed, and consequently, high-mass dileptons from heavy quark decays are\nalso suppressed. We consider in detail the detector geometry and single lepton\nenergy cuts of the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider\n(RHIC). Because of the longitudinal expansion, the suppressions of $ee, e\\mu$\nand $\\mu\\mu$ pairs resulting from the heavy quark energy loss are very\ndifferent due to the different rapidity coverages and energy cuts. The assumed\nenergy loss rate, on the order of 1 GeV/fm, results in a large suppression on\ndielectrons, and dielectrons from heavy quark decays become comparable or even\nlower than the Drell-Yan yield. It is thus possible to probe the energy loss\nrate of the medium using dileptons from heavy quark decays.",
