A study of topological vertexing for heavy quark tagging
نویسنده
چکیده
We compare heavy quark tagging and anti-tagging efficiencies for vertex detectors with different inner raddi using the topological vertex technique developed at the SLC/SLD experiment. Charm tagging benefits by going to very small inner radii. Talk presented at 5th International Linear Collider Workshop (LCWS 2000) Fermilab, Batavia, Illinois 24-28 Oct 2000 ∗Work supported by Department of Energy contract DE–AC03–76SF00515.

Silicon tracking detectors in high-energy physics
Since the fifties, semiconductors have been used as energy spectrometers, mainly in unsegmented ways. With the planar technique of processing silicon sensors in unprecedented precession, strip-like segmentation has allowed precise tracking and even vertexing, culminating in the early eighties with NA11 in the tagging of heavy flavor quarks—here the c-quark. With the later miniaturization of ele...
متن کاملLcfi Vertex Package
The LCFIVertex software, developed by the Linear Collider Flavour Identification (LCFI) collaboration and providing tools for vertexing, flavour tagging and quark charge determination for low-mass vertex detectors of high point resolution is presented. Particular emphasis is given to code extensions since the first release in April 2007. A recently developed new vertex finder, ZVMST, and its pe...

We study the prospects for probing the quark content of the photon using b tagging at high energy electron-photon colliders. We find that heavy quark tagging provides a sensitive and effective probe of the quark content of the photon. Using a 500 GeV ee NLC in electron-photon mode, the cross section for ebγ → eb can be measured to 10% with b tagging. This is sufficient to differentiate between ...
متن کاملModeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions
By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...
متن کاملTHE ROLE OF QUARK POLARIZATION IN HEAVY QUARK FRAGMENTATION
We calculate the exact fragmentation functions for c and b quark fragmentation taking into account the spin orientation of the initial heavy quark in the form of analytical and rather simple expressions. Our calculations show that spin orientation may have an important effect on the fragmentation spectrum. This effect is more striking in the cases of c ?D, D*; c? ? , ? , and ?B , B *.
