A multivariate approach to heavy flavour tagging with cascade training
This paper compares the performance of artificial neural networks and boosted decision trees, with and without cascade training, for tagging b-jets in a collider experiment. It is shown, using a Monte Carlo simulation of WH → lνqq̄ events, that boosted decision trees outperform artificial neural networks. Furthermore, cascade training can substantially improve the performance of both boosted dec...
متن کاملThe Heavy-Flavour Contribution to Proton Structure
We present theoretical and experimental considerations pertaining to deeply inelastic heavyflavour production at HERA. The various theoretical uncertainties in the cross section calculation are discussed. Cuts are imposed to determine the fraction of charm production accessible to the detectors. The production of charm at asymptotic Q and bottom production are also covered. Experimental aspects...
متن کاملHeavy Flavour Production with Leptons and Hadrons
The production of charm and beauty quarks in γγ collisions at LEP, ep collisions at HERA and p¯ p collisions at the Tevatron is discussed. The comparison with predictions of next-to-leading-order QCD and the issues it raises are detailed. In particular, the strengths and weaknesses of the measurements and predictions are discussed.
متن کاملHeavy Flavour Production
I review recent developements in the theory of heavy flavour production. In particular, I dicuss the next-to-leading resummation of soft gluon effects in heavy flavour hadroproduction, and the next-to-leading resummation of collinear radiation in the production of heavy flavour at large transverse momenta. 1 Talk presented at the 12 Rencontre de Physique de la Valle d’Aoste, La Thuile, March 19...
متن کاملHeavy flavour in ALICE
ALICE [1, 2] is the dedicated heavy-ion experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The main physics goal of the experiment is the study of strongly-interacting matter in the conditions of high energy density (> 10 GeV/fm) and high temperature (> ∼ 0.2 GeV), expected to be reached in central Pb–Pb collisions at √ sNN = 5.5 TeV. Under these conditions, according to lattice QCD calculations, q...
