Impact of residual misalignments • Very important studies: • MC geometry includes misplacements • as expected in detector (incl. surveys) • 10-100 m for modules, mm for elements, • some systematic deformations (global shifts, • clocking effects,…) next slide • all displacements known in reco • 1 + additional pixel random • misalignments introduced in reco only • actual ATLAS alignment procedure ! Impact on b-tagging: Both 1 and 2 require a specific procedure to increase the hit errors fully recovers tracking efficiency and fake levels after alignment, relative loss in rejection between 11-18% • encouraging, even though probably not all systematic deformations were accounted for Alignment procedure suggests residual misalignments of ~ 3 m in rφ (pixels) FZU/ASCR & FJFI/CVUT – Prague – Dec 19 2008

Conclusion • Expected b-tagging performance of ATLAS studied in details • For simple taggers, light jet rejection of 30 (for b=60%) • Secondary vertex taggers can achieve a rejection of 150 • Most advanced taggers can reach a rejection of 50 for b=70%, very important for multi b-jet signatures (more is needed: NN, BDT) • Many critical aspects studied: misalignment, material, state of detector, Monte Carlo modelling, etc – More to do: misalignment, pile-up • Methods to measure the b-tagging efficiency in data have been established, allowing a ~5% accuracy with 100 pb-1 in top events • Work is on-going for the measurement of mistag rates • New developments, e.g. b/c separation, can broaden the physics reach of ATLAS • Commissioning of the detector progressing well, our work will now focus on the commissioning of the b-tagging to transform our expectations into reality !
