B-tagging and searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model

Abstract

The article is devoted to the searches for new particles predicted by physics beyond the Standard Model through the b-tagging algorithm. The dependence of b-tagging efficiency on the jet identification, impact parameter identification, secondary vertex identification, kinematic cuts is studied with the help of computer programs Pythia 8.2 and Fastjet 3.3.0. The selection criteria for kinematic parameters, their ratios for an optimal result on the reconstruction of the vertices of heavy particles are found.
