Tagging the beauty quarks

What is b-tagging ?

Click here to get a short introduction to the b-tagging package. A more detailed description can be found in the DELPHI Note 94-125 PROG 208 and in DELPHI note 97-94 PHYS 716  (published in NIM A417(1998), 384).

A detailed description of the fine tuning of the track impact parameter resolution can be found in the DELPHI note 95-142 PHYS 567 (HTML) (PS about 4.5MByte) by G.Borisov and C.Mariotti (published in NIM A 372 (1996) 181) and in DELPHI note 97-96 PHYS 717 for the upgraded DELPHI micro vertex detector.

Some information on how to use the B confidence method, ( PS ) introduced in version 6.03, can be found here.

How to use b-tagging ?

Here are some hints how to use the program.

EXAMPLE on how to use the program in the SKELANA environment is given.
This is the example on how to run the old impact parameter b-tag on the SHORT DST.
