Description

A large part of the high-pt physics programme at the Tevatron and LHC colliders relies on the identification of jets originating from the fragmentation of b quarks. In my presentation I will discuss the salient features of the b-jet tagging algorithms developed to achieve this goal, and also discuss the methods that have been developed to calibrate the performance of these algorithms.
