Strategies for btagging calibration using collider data at CMS

The CMS Collaboration is studying several algorithms to identify jets coming from the hadronization of bottom quarks (b-jets) which are present in a wide range of physics processes of interests such as in the decay of top quarks, Higgs bosons and several non-Standard Model particles.

Sumario:The CMS Collaboration is studying several algorithms to identify jets coming from the hadronization of bottom quarks (b-jets) which are present in a wide range of physics processes of interests such as in the decay of top quarks, Higgs bosons and several non-Standard Model particles. All of these b-tagging algorithms rely upon the reconstruction of lower level objects like tracks, vertices, and jets, which might make it difficult for the Monte Carlo simulation to exactly reproduce the performance observed in data. Reliable methods to measure performance of these algorithms directly from collider data have been developed. The CMS b-tagging group is working on several strategies which should yield reliable results already with $10\;\rm{pb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity.
