使用高纯双稀子夸克-反夸克对(tt¯t\ overline {t} $$)的样本来测量识别包含b-强子的射流的效率(tt- $ t \ overline {t} $) ATLAS探测器在2015年和2016年收集的数据,这些数据来自大型强子对撞机在质心能量s = 13 $$ \ sqrt {s} = 13 $$ TeV产生的质子-质子碰撞。 两种方法分别从组合事件似然法和标记探测法中提取效率。 不使用b标签信息的增强型决策树用于选择存在两个b喷射的事件,从而减少了喷射风味建模中的主要不确定性。 提取横向动量范围为20至300 GeV的射流的效率,并通过将使用碰撞数据测得的效率与模拟预测的效率进行比较来计算数据与模拟的比例因子。 两种方法可得出兼容的结果,并达到相似的精度水平,测量数据到模拟的比例因子接近统一,不确定性范围从2%到12%,具体取决于射流横向动量。

Abstract: The efficiency to identify jets containing b-hadrons (b-jets) is measured us-
ing a high purity sample of dileptonic top quark-antiquark pairs (t
¯
t) selected from the
36.1 fb
−1
of data collected by the ATLAS detector in 2015 and 2016 from proton-proton
collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy
√
s = 13 TeV.
Two methods are used to extract the efficiency from t
¯
t events, a combinatorial likelihood
approach and a tag-and-probe method. A boosted decision tree, not using b-tagging infor-
mation, is used to select events in which two b-jets are present, which reduces the dominant
uncertainty in the modelling of the flavour of the jets. The efficiency is extracted for jets
in a transverse momentum range from 20 to 300 GeV, with data-to-simulation scale fac-
tors calculated by comparing the efficiency measured using collision data to that predicted
by the simulation. The two methods give compatible results, and achieve a similar level
of precision, measuring data-to-simulation scale factors close to unity with uncertainties
ranging from 2% to 12% depending on the jet transverse momentum.

1 Introduction
The identification of jets containing b-hadrons, referred to as b-jets, is vital for a large
part of the physics programme of the ATLAS experiment [1] at the CERN Large Hadron
Collider (LHC), including Standard Model (SM) precision measurements, studies of the
Higgs boson’s properties and searches for new physics beyond the SM. The algorithms
used to identify b-jets are referred to as b-tagging algorithms.
This paper describes a measurement of the b-jet tagging efficiency in proton-proton
collision data recorded at
√
s = 13 TeV during Run 2 of the LHC. A very pure t
¯
t sample
is selected, as these events have a high b-jets purity by virtue of the t → W b branching
fraction being close to 100% [2]. The number of additional non-b-jets in the sample is
greatly reduced by requiring that both W bosons decay leptonically. Two methods are
used to measure the b-jet tagging efficiency: a new method which uses a tag-and-probe
approach, referred to as the Tag-and-Probe method (T&P); and a combinatorial likelihood
– 1 –

approach, referred to as the Likelihood method (LH), which is based upon a method used
during Run 1 (
√
s = 7 TeV and
√
s = 8 TeV) of the LHC [3]. Having two methods enables
reciprocal cross-checks to be made between them.
The b-jet tagging efficiency, ε
b
, is measured for jets in the pseudorapidity
1
range
|η| < 2.5 and with transverse momentum p
T
> 20 GeV for several operating points (OP).
Operating points are defined by sets of selection criteria imposed upon the output of the
b-tagging algorithm designed to provide a certain b-jet tagging efficiency. Four operating
points are defined, corresponding to 60%, 70%, 77% and 85% b-jet tagging efficiencies in
simulated t
¯
t events. Two sets of four operating points are implemented to provide a single-
cut or a flat-efficiency operating point. The single-cut operating point provides the stated
b-jet tagging efficiency when averaged over the transverse momentum distribution of b-jets
in t
¯
t events, but the efficiency varies with jet p
T
. On the other hand, the flat-efficiency
operating point has a varying cut value, ensuring a constant b-jet tagging efficiency as a
function of the jet p
T
. Results are also presented in the form of data-to-simulation efficiency
scale factors, defined as ε
data
b
/ε
sim
b
, where ε
data
b
is the efficiency measured in data, while
ε
sim
b
represents the efficiency predicted by simulation using Monte Carlo (MC) generator-
level information. In physics measurements, these scale factors can be applied jet by jet
to correct the rate of events after applying a b-tagging requirement. The scale factors
are measured for all operating points; however, this paper presents only results from a
number of selected working points as examples. Separate measurements have also been
made for the tagging efficiencies of jets containing c-hadrons, referred to as c-jets, and for
jets containing neither a b-hadron nor a c-hadron, referred to as light-flavour jets, and are
presented in ref. [3].
The paper is organised as follows. In section 2, the ATLAS detector and physics
object reconstruction are described. Section 3 contains a description of the ATLAS b-
tagging algorithms. In section 4, the data and simulated samples used in the b-jet tagging
efficiency measurements are presented. Section 5 summarises the event selection criteria
applied for both calibration methods, while in section 6 the T&P and LH methods are
presented in detail. In section 7, the systematic uncertainties for each method are outlined,
and results are presented in section 8. Finally, conclusions are given in section 9.
2 The ATLAS detector and object reconstruction
The ATLAS detector [1] at the LHC covers nearly the entire solid angle around the collision
point. The detector comprises an inner tracking detector surrounded by a superconducting
solenoid producing a 2 T axial magnetic field, a system of calorimeters, and a muon spec-
trometer (MS) incorporating three large toroid magnet assemblies. The inner detector (ID)
consists of four layers of silicon pixel sensors and four layers of silicon microstrip sensors,

ATLAS uses a right-handed coordinate system with its origin at the nominal interaction point (IP) in
the centre of the detector and the z-axis along the beam pipe. The x-axis points from the IP to the centre
of the LHC ring, and the y-axis points upward. Cylindrical coordinates (r, φ) are used in the transverse
plane, φ being the azimuthal angle around the z-axis. The pseudorapidity is defined in terms of the polar
angle θ as η = − ln tan(θ/2). The angular distance ∆R is measured in η–φ phase space and is defined as
p
(∆η)

+ (∆φ)

, where ∆η and ∆φ are the differences between the φ and η of the two objects respectively.

providing precision tracking in the pseudorapidity range |η| < 2.5. The innermost pixel
layer, referred to as the insertable B-layer (IBL) [4, 5], was installed between Run 1 and
Run 2 of the LHC. The IBL provides a hit measurement at an average radius of 33.3 mm,
significantly closer to the interaction point than the closest pixel layer in Run 1 (radius of
50.5 mm). The additional pixel layer has a significant impact on the performance of both
the tracking and vertexing algorithms, resulting in improved b-tagging performance. A
straw-tube transition radiation tracker complements the measurements in the silicon layers
by providing additional tracking and electron identification information for |η| < 2.0.
High-granularity electromagnetic (EM) and hadronic sampling calorimeters cover the
region |η| < 4.9. All electromagnetic calorimeters, as well as the endcap and forward
hadronic calorimeters, use liquid argon as the active medium and lead, copper, or tungsten
absorber. The central hadronic calorimeter uses scintillator tiles as the active medium and
steel absorber. The muon spectrometer measures the deflection of muons with |η| < 2.7
using multiple layers of high-precision tracking chambers located in a toroidal field of
approximately 0.5 T or 1 T in the central and endcap regions of ATLAS, respectively.
The ATLAS detector incorporates a two-level trigger system, with the first level im-
plemented in custom hardware and the second level implemented in software. This trigger
system reduces the output from the detector electronics to about 1 kHz for offline storage.
Vertices are reconstructed using tracks measured by the inner detector [6]. Events
are required to have at least one reconstructed vertex, with two or more associated tracks
which have p
T
> 400 MeV. The primary vertex is chosen as the vertex candidate with the
largest sum of the squared transverse momenta of associated tracks.
Electrons are reconstructed from energy deposits (clusters) in the electromagnetic
calorimeter matched to tracks reconstructed in the ID [7, 8]. Additionally, candidate clus-
ters in the calorimeter barrel/endcap transition region, defined by 1.37 < |η
cluster
| < 1.52,
as well as those of poor quality, are excluded. Muons are reconstructed from track seg-
ments in the MS that are matched to tracks in the ID [9, 10]. Combined muon tracks
are then re-fit using information from both the ID and MS systems. The lepton tracks
must be consistent with coming from the primary vertex of the event: the longitudinal im-
pact parameter z
0
must satisfy |z
0
sin θ| < 0.5 mm, while the transverse impact parameter
significance, |d
0
|/σ(d
0
) must be less than 5 for electrons or less than 3 for muons. To re-
duce the contribution from hadronic decays (non-prompt leptons), photon conversions and
hadrons misidentified as leptons, both the electrons and muons must also satisfy isolation
and identification criteria. The loose, medium and tight working points of the isolation and
identification algorithms are defined in ref. [8] for electrons, and in ref. [10] for muons. Two
types of leptons are defined for the analyses presented in this paper. First, signal lepton
candidates are required to have p
T
> 27 GeV and |η| < 2.5, as well as to satisfy tight track-
and calorimeter-based isolation criteria. Signal electrons (muons) are required to pass the
medium electron (muon) identification criteria. Second, loose leptons are required to have
p
T
> 7 GeV and |η| < 2.5, as well as to satisfy loose identification and loose track-only
isolation criteria.
Jets are reconstructed from three-dimensional topological energy clusters [11] in the
calorimeter using the anti-k
t
algorithm [12] with a radius parameter of R = 0.4. These
– 3 –

jets are referred to as calorimeter-jets. The clusters are calibrated to the electromagnetic
energy response scale prior to jet reconstruction. The reconstructed jets are then calibrated
to the jet energy scale (JES), corresponding to the particle scale,
2
using corrections derived
from simulation and in situ corrections based on 13 TeV data [13]. Jets are required to have
calibrated p
T
> 20 GeV and to be within the acceptance of the inner detector, |η| < 2.5.
Jet cleaning criteria are applied to identify jets arising from non-collision sources or noise
in the calorimeter [14, 15]. Any event containing such a jet is removed. In order to reduce
the contamination from jets arising from additional pp collisions in the same or nearby
bunch crossings, called pile-up, a requirement on the Jet Vertex Tagger (JVT) [16] output
is made. The JVT algorithm combines tracking information into a multivariate algorithm
to reject jets which do not originate from the primary vertex, and is applied to jets with
p
T
< 60 GeV and |η| < 2.4. Jets with p
T
> 60 GeV are assumed to have originated from
the primary vertex.
Jets are also reconstructed from inner-detector tracks using the anti-k
t
algorithm with
a radius parameter of R = 0.2. These jets are referred to as track-jets. The tracks used
in jet clustering are required to have p
T
> 0.5 GeV and to be matched to the primary
vertex using impact parameter requirements on the tracks. Only track-jets with at least
two tracks and with p
T
> 10 GeV and |η| < 2.5 are considered for the purposes of the
b-jet tagging efficiency measurement. The results presented in this paper correspond to
the jets reconstructed from the topological energy clusters in the calorimeter, which are
referred to as jets throughout. Equivalent b-jet efficiency measurements are also performed
for track-jets and the results made available to ATLAS analyses using those jets.
In order to avoid counting a single detector response as originating from two different
objects, an overlap removal procedure is applied to the jet candidates and leptons pass-
ing the loose quality requirement. To prevent double-counting of electron energy deposits
reconstructed as jets, the closest jet lying ∆R < 0.2 from a selected electron is removed.
Electron candidates that lie ∆R < 0.4 from a jet surviving the selection are discarded to
reduce the background from electrons that originate from heavy-flavour decays. Further-
more, to reduce the background from muons that originate from the decays of hadrons
containing a heavy quark inside selected jets, muon candidates are removed if they are
separated from the nearest selected jet by ∆R < 0.4. However, if this jet has fewer than
three associated tracks, the muon is kept and the jet is removed as it is likely that the
energy is deposited in the calorimeter by the muon.
The missing transverse momentum (with magnitude E
miss
T
) is defined as the negative
vector sum of the transverse momenta of all selected and calibrated physics objects in the
event, with an extra “soft” term added to account for low-momentum contributions from
particles in the event that are not associated with any of the selected objects. This term is
calculated using inner-detector tracks matched to the primary vertex to reduce the pile-up
contamination [17].

The particle scale is defined as consisting of stable particles emerging from the p-p collision before
interaction with the ATLAS detector.
