Abstract

Identification of jets originating from beauty and charm quarks is important for measuring Standard Model processes and for searching for new physics. The performance of algorithms developed to select $b$- and $c$-quark jets is measured using data recorded by LHCb from proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV in 2011 and at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV in 2012. The efficiency for identifying a $b(c)$ jet is about 65(25) with a probability for misidentifying a light-parton jet of 0.3 for jets with transverse momentum $p_{\rm T} > 20$ GeV and pseudorapidity $2.2 < \eta < 4.2$. The dependence of the performance on the $p_{\rm T}$ and $\eta$ of the jet is also measured.

Efficiencies and mistag probabilities obtained from simulation for the SV-tagger and TOPO algorithms for (top) $b$, (middle) $c$ and (bottom) $\rm light -parton$ jets. The left plots show the dependence on $p_{\rm T}$ for $2.2 < \eta < 4.2$, while the right plots show the dependence on $\eta$ for $ p_{\rm T} > 20\mathrm{ Ge V} $ (see text for details). The "loose" label for the TOPO refers to the BDT requirement used in the trigger for SVs that contain muon candidates.

Tables and captions

Summary of relative systematic uncertainties ($-$ denotes negligible). Systematic uncertainties that dependent on jet type and $p_{\rm T}$ are marked by a $*$ (see text for details).

tex code 		Table_1.pdf

SV-tagger algorithm $(b,c)$-tagging efficiencies measured in data compared to those obtained in simulation. The $b$ and $c$ results are obtained by combining the highest- $p_{\rm T}$ track and muon-jet results under the assumption that the scale factors are the same for semileptonic and inclusive $(b,c)$-hadron decays. The $(b,c)$ results are obtained by fitting the highest- $p_{\rm T}$ -track sample under the assumption that the scale factors are the same for $b$ and $c$ jets. The absolute efficiencies observed in data are provided using the "$(b,c)$ jets" results.
