W-tagging performance in 13 TeV simulation

In the new energy regime explored by the Large Hadron Collider, it has become important to distinguish between jets originating from a single quark/gluon ("one-prong") and jets originating from the merging of the decay products of a W boson ("two-prong"). Several different algorithms have been developed to identify such merged W jets, with the same techniques also applicable for tagging highly energetic Z and Higgs bosons. In this note, the mistagging rate and efficiency for tagging W jets is measured in 13 TeV simulation for three different W-tagging algorithms.
