Testing TMVA software in b-tagging for the search of MSSM Higgs bosons at the LHC

Preserved Fulltext
We test the usage of a Toolkit for Multivariate Data Analysis (TMVA) in b tagging. Tagging b jets associated with heavy neutral MSSM Higgs bosons at the LHC can be used to extract the Higgs bosons from the Drell-Yan background, for which the associated jets are mainly light quark and gluon jets. Achievable b tagging efficiency is studied with more than ten MVA classifiers at 1% mistagging rate. Most classifiers were found to perform better than the simple track counting algorithm.
