1. Introduction to b-tagging algorithms (including X to bb tagging and MC dependence)

Andrew Stephen Chisholm (CERN)

2. Towards the universal jet algorithm to disentangle heavy flavor at hadron colliders?

Towards the universal jet algorithm to disentangle heavy flavor at hadron colliders (for X to bb tagging for arbitrary pT(X), and for optimally distinguishing single from g—>bb jets). The talk includes discussion of dependence on heavy flavor modeling (production/decays), and on how to label heavy flavor correctly in the context of each jet algorithm.
