Description
The identification of jets coming from the hadronization of b-quarks (b-tagging) is instrumental for many physics analyses performed at the Large Hadron Collider. ATLAS has b-tagging capability starting at trigger level, where b-tagging algorithms are fed with tracks that are reconstructed at the High-Level Trigger stage. Physics analyses with b-jets in the final state, but no lepton or missing transverse energy, benefit from using b-jet identification at trigger level in order to improve the signal efficiency. In Run 2, b-jet trigger efficiency is measured using a data sample enriched in ttbar di-leptonic events, employing a likelihood method. The b-tagging efficiency, for trigger algorithms as well as for the combination between trigger and offline algorithms, is extracted for jets in a transverse momentum range from 35 to 600 GeV, and data-to-simulation scale factors are derived.
