Abstract

Motivated by new physics models which lead to final states containing a high multiplicity of bottom and top quarks; we develop a tagging strategy to suppress reducible and non-reducible multi-jet backgrounds. The idea takes advantage of the properties of light parton showers and of the gluon fragmentation into heavy quarks to reject jets that do not originate from a bottom quark.
