Description
We report the findings of a study on the efficiency and purity of muon identification
for the proposed SiD detector geometry. The study is based on simulated b-pair
events that include a muon in the decay chain. The aim of the study was to assess
the use of the highly segmented proposed hadron calorimeter in the b identification
process. The study shows that the efficiency and purity of the muons from b-decay
improves until the muon penetration depth exceeds about eight interaction lengths of
material
