Dear sPHENIX tracking-interested people,

I saw this posted on the arxiv this morning and thought it may be interesting to share: http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.06604

The basic method seems to be the same as the earlier D meson measurements: secondary vertex reconstruction followed by cuts on the flight time significance of the vertex and, in Pb+Pb, additional cuts on the decay track pairs to tame down the combinatoric background.
