Abstract

This project aims to extend a previous study of event simulation in hadronic collisions, focusing on the application of machine learning algorithms to analyze the obtained data. Based on the initial results of jet production simulations, Logistic Regression and Boosted Decision Trees (BDT) will be used for the identification and classification of jets containing hadrons with charm and bottom quarks. The main tools to be used include, in addition to those already employed in the previous study, the TMVA analysis package from ROOT, with the objective of developing efficient methods for heavy-flavor jets tagging.
