The PHENIX experiment has measured midrapidity (|η|<0.35) transverse momentum spectra (0.4<pT<5.0GeV/c) of electrons as a function of centrality in Au+Au collisions at sNN=200GeV. Contributions from photon conversions and from light hadron decays, mainly Dalitz decays of π0 and η mesons, were removed. The resulting nonphotonic electron spectra are primarily due to the semileptonic decays of hadrons carrying heavy quarks. Nuclear modification factors were determined by comparison to nonphotonic electrons in p+p collisions. A significant suppression of electrons at high pT is observed in central Au+Au collisions, indicating substantial energy loss of heavy quarks.
