Improved $b$ quark jet identification at the D0 experiment

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2013-12-31 v1

Abstract

The ability to identify jets which originated from bb quarks is an important tool of the physics program of the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron ppˉp\bar{p} collider. This article describes a new algorithm designed to select jets originating from bb quarks while suppressing the contamination caused by jets from other quark flavors and gluons. Additionally, a new technique, the SystemN method, for determining the misidentification rate directly from data is presented.
