Description
Presented is a method to improve the b-jet energy resolution with the task of increasing the signal sensitivity in searches decaying to a b, anti-b quark pair in the final state. The machinery has been tested using Monte Carlo simulated samples in the process $WH \rightarrow l\nu bb$. The method trains a function through regression applying a correction factor to bring the reconstructed jet energy closer to that of generator level energy. This narrows the b anti-b jet mass peak of the signal, and therefore increases the signal to background separation
