Current Certification Status

JLIP: now certified for PASS2 p14 data,
with JES v5.3

This was a major effort, and identified / solved many issues relevant to certification in general

Congrats to the JLIP authors, Herb, Gordon, and EB33!

SVT: still waiting for some final closure tests, checks, and updates

Hopeful that this will be done in < 1 month

CSIP: not being pursued as a certified algorithm

SLT: Kazu is final deliberations with EB33

Also should be ready in < 1 month

NNT: Tim identified some instabilities in the System8 methods he was using. These are now understood / avoided.

NNT note should be ready for b-ID group review next week

Realistically, this algorithm will take longer to certify... it's brand-new material!

We understand the collaboration's urgent desire for this algorithm. I am working to coordinate and expedite its approval.

For the Future

TRALGO!

We've agreed to join and conquer. We need a common meeting time.

We foresee alternating weeks of “focus” between tracking/vertexing/bid

p17

MC samples are being requested

CAF: we may be a little behind here...

I'm going to start working on the b-ID / CAF interface soon
– this must be smooth for users and for certification!

Gordon will help port btags_cert to CAF.

Documentation!

p17 Certification

Some things were non-ideal in p14 cert...

JES – independence? I think we can break free.

Sample dependence for data light-tag rate (EMQCD vs. QCD skims)?

Luminosity / time dependence of TRFs?

PVZ dependence of tagging

Consistent implementations of b-quark/hadron to b-jet matching, System8

Data/MC scale factor for c- and light-quark/gluon jets
