Sumario:This note investigates the effects of misalignment on $b$-tagging performance using Monte Carlo simulations. Four different alignment sets were considered, two with known random misalignments, one produced with the ATLAS alignment procedures and one with a perfectly aligned detector. Error tuning was investigated to compensate for the larger effective hit errors caused by misalignment. In addition the effects of misalignment on the tracking and vertexing performance were evaluated.
