Abstract
The ability to identify jets which originated from quarks is an important tool of the physics program of the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. This article describes a new algorithm designed to select jets originating from 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.
