Two methods are used to extract the efficiency from t (t) over bar events, a combinatorial likelihood approach and a tag-and-probe method. A boosted decision tree, not using b-tagging information, is used to select events in which two b-jets are present, which reduces the dominant uncertainty in the modelling of the flavour of the jets. The efficiency is extracted for jets in a transverse momentum range from 20 to 300 GeV, with data-to-simulation scale factors calculated by comparing the efficiency measured using collision data to that predicted by the simulation. The two methods give compatible results, and achieve a similar level of precision, measuring data-to-simulation scale factors close to unity with uncertainties ranging from 2{\%} to 12{\%} depending on the jet transverse momentum.", optnote="WOS:000442113300001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3719), last updated on Tue, 18 Sep 2018 11:50:12 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP08(2018)089", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1805.01845", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP08(2018)089", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1805.01845", language="English" }
