Title: | ATLAS b-jet identification performance and efficiency measurement with tt¯ events in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV | Authors: | Fiolhais, M. C. N. Veloso, F. Wolters, H. ATLAS Collaboration |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Publisher: | Springer Nature | Serial title, monograph or event: | European Physical Journal C | Volume: | 79 | Issue: | 11 | Abstract: | The algorithms used by the ATLAS Collaboration during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider to identify jets containing b-hadrons are presented. The performance of the algorithms is evaluated in the simulation and the efficiency with which these algorithms identify jets containing b-hadrons is measured in collision data. The measurement uses a likelihood-based method in a sample highly enriched in tt¯ events. The topology of the t→ Wb decays is exploited to simultaneously measure both the jet flavour composition of the sample and the efficiency in a transverse momentum range from 20 to 600 GeV. The efficiency measurement is subsequently compared with that predicted by the simulation. The data used in this measurement, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 80.5 fb - 1, were collected in proton–proton collisions during the years 2015–2017 at a centre-of-mass energy s= 13 TeV. By simultaneously extracting both the efficiency and jet flavour composition, this measurement significantly improves the precision compared to previous results, with uncertainties ranging from 1 to 8% depending on the jet transverse momentum. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/106896 | DOI: | 10.1140/epjc/s10052-019-7450-8 | Rights: | openAccess |
