The sum of charm and beauty in Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV measured through non-photonic electrons, show similar suppression at high p{sub T} as light hadrons, in contrast to expectations based on the dead cone effect. To understand this observation, it is important to separate the charm and beauty components. Non-photonic electron-D{sup 0} and electron-hadron azimuthal angular correlations are used to disentangle the contributions from charm and beauty decays. The beauty contribution in p+p. collisions at 200 GeV is found to be comparable to charm at p{sub T}{approx}5.5 GeV, indicating that beauty may contribute significantly to the non photonic electrons from heavy flavour decays in Au+Au data at high p{sub T}. Furthermore, we are employing microvertexing techniques, not used for the analysis of p+p collisions, in Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV. We present our analysis status of D{sub 0} meson reconstruction.
