8. Physics of the B-factories, MVA chapter 83rd workshop, Mainz, October 2010 Flavor tagging Section Flavor tagging Subsection Introduction Definitions Physics souces of tagging information Multivariate methods used Things we tried, what worked, what didn’t ? Subsection Flavor tagging algorithms BaBar and Belle algorithms Categories Subsection Measuring flavor tagging performance History of tagging performance in Belle and BaBar Subsection Systematic effects Tag-side interference Main section editor(s) Juerg Beringer Belle ? Status To start by Nov. Main features : Example of MVA application Specific to B-factories To be broadly referenced To be decided : Juerg : moving this chapter to the physics part (i.e. “more than a tool”) OK with me ± 8 pages

12. Physics of the B-factories, MVA chapter 123rd workshop, Mainz, October 2010 Background suppression

13. Physics of the B-factories, MVA chapter 133rd workshop, Mainz, October 2010 Background suppression

14. Physics of the B-factories, MVA chapter 143rd workshop, Mainz, October 2010 Background suppression A few questions/comments/doubts Info relatively easy to find from my past expericence Very well documented in PhD theses Not easy to find the “right” plots on papers For the time being it’s very BaBar-oriented Will quickly hit the 6-page level Need to check the latest MVA’s used

15. Physics of the B-factories, MVA chapter 153rd workshop, Mainz, October 2010 Structure, manpower, timing issues Overall chapter/section structure designed to ensure global coherence and minimize redundancies suits the pedagogical purpose of the book Tagging to physics part; what about PID? Manpower a few important contacts yet to be established need both BaBar/Belle contributors on all sections Timing writing has started Frank’s 1 st draft soon uploaded I’d like to have 1 st iteration with Belle before uploading Ale gathering material Juerg will write in November interplay/feedback with physics chapters check for specific needs and redundancies
