HQ in jets and b-tag
The flavor dependence of jet quenching is a powerful handle to discriminate models of parton energy loss in heavy ion collisions. While there is evidence for a strong energy loss of heavy quarks from single particle measurements, heavy flavor tagging of fully reconstructed jets has thus far not been achieved in heavy ion collisions. In this talk we demonstrate the capacity of CMS to identify...

HQ in jets and b-tag
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.
