A Topological Vertex Reconstruction Algorithm for Hadronic Jets
نویسنده
چکیده
The algorithm described reconstructs a set of topological vertices each associated with an independent subset of the charged tracks in a hadronic jet. Vertices are reconstructed by associating tracks with 3D spatial regions according to a vertex probability function which is based on the trajectories and position resolution of the tracks. SLD data is used to illustrate the performance of the algorithm with emphasis on the application to Z ! bb events.

IMPROVED MEASUREMENT OF THE PROBABILITY FOR GLUON SPLITTING INTO bb̄ IN Z DECAYS
We have measured gluon splitting into bottom quarks, g → bb̄, in hadronic Z0 decays collected by SLD between 1996 and 1998. The analysis was performed by looking for secondary bottom production in 4-jet events of any primary flavor. 4-jet events were identified, and in each event a topological vertex-mass technique was applied to the two jets closest in angle in order to identify them as b or b ...
متن کاملJet Reconstruction with charged tracks only in CMS
The performance of jet finding using only charged tracks in CMS has been investigated. Different jet algorithms have been applied to QCD di-jet events, to hadronic tt multi-jet events and on Z+jets events. Results using jets made with tracks only or calorimeter towers are compared for energy response, angular resolution and jet matching to the leading partons. The jet reconstruction performance...
متن کاملA preliminary measurement of the gluon splitting rate into bb̄ pairs in hadronic
We present a measurement of the rate of gluon splitting into bottom quarks, g → bb̄, in hadronic Z decays collected by SLD from 1996 to 1998. The analysis was performed by looking for secondary bottom production in 4-jet events of any primary flavor. A topological vertex mass technique was used to tag the two jets with the smallest angle between them as b/b̄. We obtained a rate of g → bb̄ per hadr...

متن کاملMeasurement of the top quark mass using charged particles in pp collisions at ffiffi s p = 8 TeV
A novel technique for measuring the mass of the top quark that uses only the kinematic properties of its charged decay products is presented. Top quark pair events with final states with one or two charged leptons and hadronic jets are selected from the data set of 8 TeV proton-proton collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1. By reconstructing secondary vertices inside...
