Abstract

I present a new scheme for tagging boosted heavy flavor jets called "μx tagging" and its application to TeV-scale physics beyond the Standard Model. Using muons from B hadron decay to define a particular combination "x" of angular information, and jet substructure variables, we identify a clean (εfakeb∼ 1/100) good efficiency (εb = 14%) tag. I demonstrate the usefulness of this new scheme by showing the reach for discovery of leptophobic Z^′→ b b and tH^±→ t t b.
