Description
The PHENIX experiment at RHIC has a unique large rapidity coverage (1.2$<|\eta|<$2.2) for heavy flavor studies in heavy ion collisions. This kinematic region has a smaller particle density and may undergo different nuclear effects before and after the hard process when compared to mid-rapidity production. The latest PHENIX runs contains a large data set which allows, for the first time, the study of heavy flavor and J/$\psi$ flow at the large rapidity region in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$200 GeV. This measurement has the potential to reveal a medium evolution distinct from the one known at the mid-rapidity. This presentation will also report on the analysis status of non-prompt J/$\psi$ coming from B-meson decays at mid-rapidity in $pp$ collisions. This data can reach very low $p_{\rm T}$ B-mesons yields which is typically challenging to be described by pQCD calculations.
