Description

A comparison of three flavor scheme, four flavor scheme and five flavor scheme has been performed using top quark pair-production with additional charm jet $(t\bar{t}+c)$ events simulated by MadGraph and showered by Pythia8. Spectra of additional c-jets that do not originate from the top quark decay are compared in the three schemes. These studies are motivated by the upcoming $t\bar{t}+c$ jets cross section measurement. No significant differences in spectra of additional c-jets are observed in the different flavor schemes.
