Abstract

Studying heavy-flavor jets in pp collision is important since they can test pQCD calculations and be used as a reference for heavy-ion collisions. Jets in this analysis are reconstructed from charged particles using the anti-kTk_{\mathrm{T}} algorithm with a resolution parameter R=R= 0.4 and with pseudorapidity η<|\eta|< 0.5. Beauty jets are tagged using a machine learning model that uses a convolutional neural network trained on information extracted from the jet, tracks, and secondary vertices. The results show that this model is superior compared to other traditional tagging methods.
