The algorithm exploits the correlation of the flavour of a B meson with the charge of a reconstructed secondary charm hadron from the decay of the other b hadron produced in the proton-proton collision. Charm hadron candidates are identified in a number of fully or partially reconstructed Cabibbo-favoured decay modes. The algorithm is calibrated on the self-tagged decay modes B + → J/ψK + and B 0 → J/ψK ∗0 using 3.0 fb−1 of data collected by the LHCb experiment at pp centre-of-mass energies of 7TeV and 8TeV. Its tagging power on these samples of B → J/ψX decays is (0.30±0.01±0.01)%.17 p.application/pdfeng(c) Institute of Physics (IOP), 2015HadronsGran Col·lisionador d'HadronsFísica de partículesExperimentsHadronsLarge Hadron Collider (France and Switzerland)Particle physicsExperimentsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6587182022-05-17info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
