167 :     \section{Introduction}
168 :     Final states containing more than one $b$-jet have been proposed as signatures with substantial
169 :     discovery potential in a variety of physics channels. The ability to separate $b$-jets from light-quark and
170 :     gluon jets is thus an important ingredient of the online selection strategy in ATLAS.\\
171 :     One of the most interesting physics cases addressed by such a $b$-jet trigger selection
172 :     involves events with final states containing four $b$-jets.
173 :     This event class is relevant for Higgs bosons search in
174 :     the low mass range, $m_H < 130\;\mathrm{GeV}$. The most promising channels are the $H \to b\bar{b}$ decay,
175 :     where the Standard Model Higgs boson is produced by way of the associated production channel $t\bar{t}H$ and, in
176 :     supersymmetric theories, the channels $b\bar{b}H$, $b\bar{b}A$ with $H/A \to b\bar{b}$ or
177 :     $H \to hh \to b{\bar b}b{\bar b}$.
178 :    
179 :     The selection of $b$-jets at the trigger level is mainly meant to improve the flexibility of
180 :     the HLT scheme, extending its physics performance for the above described topologies. This is achieved
181 :     by increasing the acceptance for signal events, while, at the same time, reducing the background.
182 :    
183 :     The $b$-jet selection relies on tracking information
184 :     %The first trigger level in which information from the Inner Detector tracking system \cite{DetPap}
185 :     which is only available
186 :     starting with the Second Level Trigger (L2). Therefore, the acceptance for signal can only be increased by simultaneously
187 :     lowering L1 jet thresholds and applying a more discriminating $b$-jet selection in the High Level Trigger (L2 and EF).
188 :     High rejection power from the $b$-jet trigger is required
189 :     to compensate for less rejection due to lower L1 thresholds and thereby to cope with L2 and EF output rate
190 :     budget.
191 :    
192 :     \section{Monte Carlo samples}
193 :    
194 :     The $b$-tagging performance on single jets, presented in this note, is evaluated on $b$-jets from
195 :     $H \to b\bar{b}$ decays, where the Higgs boson has a mass of 120 GeV and is produced in association with
196 :     a $W$ decaying leptonically.
197 :     The standard background for single-jet studies are the corresponding $u$-jets, obtained by artificially
198 :     replacing the $b$-quarks from the Higgs decay with $u$-quarks.
199 :     While these events imprecisely model
200 :     the real
201 :     background from light-flavour jets they
202 :     %that the $b$-jet trigger has to face, this choice is motivated by the
203 :     %need to have a clean source of $u$-jets. Furthermore, the $H \to u\bar{u}$ decay
204 :     can be seen as a worst case scenario since the kinematical properties of signal
205 :     and background are very similar.
206 :    
207 :     Even in this very simple situation, the association between Regions of Interest (RoI), identified by the
208 :     first level trigger, and jets is not uniquely defined:
209 :     %As a matter of fact,
210 :     a generic $x$-quark in the final state of an interaction or a decay can radiate gluons
211 :     and, therefore, change its direction. An RoI from $H\rightarrow b\bar{b}$ or $H\rightarrow u\bar{u}$
212 :     is labeled as $x$-jet ($x=b,\,u$) if an $x$-quark from the original hard process points, after final
213 :     state radiation, along the RoI direction within an angular distance of
214 :     $\Delta R = \sqrt{\Delta\eta^2+\Delta\phi^2} < 0.1$.
215 :    
216 :     In order to evaluate the rate of the $b$-jet trigger menu, the rejection power must be evaluated on
217 :     a more representative background sample. As for all the other trigger selections in ATLAS, di-jet samples
218 :     are chosen for this purpose since they correctly include all contributions to the $b$-tagging background,
219 :     including $c$-quarks and taus.
220 :    
221 :     All data samples studied in this note have been generated
222 :     without pile-up, leaving the influence of pile-up
223 :     for further studies. The activity due to underlying event is taken into account since it is built-in
224 :     in the event generation (Pythia).
225 :     %The simulation and digitazione of the samples have been performed with release 12.0.31.3, the reconstruction
226 :     %has been done with release 13.0.30.2
227 :     \section{HLT $b$-jet selection}
228 :    
229 :     \subsection{L1 configuration}
230 :    
231 :     The HLT reconstruction starts from the RoIs selected by the L1 trigger \cite{DetPap}.
232 :     In particular, the $b$-jet trigger starts from a L1 jet-RoI $\Delta\eta \times \Delta\phi = 0.8 \times 0.8$
233 :     and performs track and vertex reconstruction in a smaller RoI $\Delta\eta \times \Delta\phi = 0.4 \times 0.4$
234 :     in order to reduce data access and consequently processing time.
235 :    
236 :     %Figure \ref{fig:LVL1ETB} shows the $b$-quark $p_T$ acceptance of the different L1 $E_T$ thresholds.

244 :     %\end{figure}
245 :    
246 :     \subsection{$b$-jet trigger feature extraction algorithms}
247 :    
248 :     The first step in the $b$-jet trigger chain is, both at L2 and EF, the reconstruction of the relevant
249 :     quantities needed to perform the selection.
250 :     The $b$-jet RoIs can be separated from light jet RoIs using the impact parameters of the charged tracks,
251 :     the properties of reconstructed secondary vertices, or soft leptons; all these quantities are
252 :     related to the $b$-quark lifetime and to its decay properties.
253 :    
254 :    
255 :     The present $b$-jet trigger implementation relies only on the impact parameters of charged tracks.
256 :     Primary vertex reconstruction is performed only in the $z$ direction while its coordinates in the transverse
257 :     plane are assumed to be compatible with the origin.
258 :    
259 :     Track reconstruction algorithms are described, together with their performance, in \cite{CSCHLTTracking}.
260 :     The two Inner Detector tracking algorithms available at L2 show equivalent performance when operating on
261 :     jet samples \cite{CSCHLTTracking}. Thus to avoid unnecessary comparisons, the results
262 :     obtained with the SiTrack algorithm are presented.
263 :     For track reconstruction at the EF, the algorithm corresponding to that used for offline reconstruction
264 :     has been adopted (NewTracking).
265 :    
266 :     \subsubsection{Primary vertex reconstruction}
267 :    
268 :     %The track impact parameter in the $RZ$ plane, i.e. $z_0$ of the reconstructed tracks, can be adopted to
269 :     %build another discriminant variable for the $b$-tagging selection.\\
270 :     %In analogy with the $d_0$ impact parameter, the $z_0$ distribution shows a peak around the primary vertex
271 :     %position ($z_{vtx}$) for tracks coming from $u$-jets, while larger values of $z_0 - z_{vtx}$ are expected for
272 :     %$b$-jets. Anyway, unlike what happens for the transverse impact parameter,
273 :    
274 :     Along the $z$ direction no \textit{a priori} knowledge of primary vertex $z_{vtx}$ is available;
275 :     this has hence to be reconstructed, starting from the tracks available in the RoI. This information is
276 :     needed for the correct evaluation of the longitudinal parameter of each track with respect to the primary interaction position.
277 :    
278 :     The adopted algorithm, a simple histogramming method based on a sliding window, yields
279 :     an efficiency of 98(99)\% and a
280 :     resolution on $z_{vtx}$ of about $120(100)\mu$m at L2(EF) as illustrated in Figure~\ref{fig:primvtx}.
281 :

285 :     \caption{The distribution of the difference between the true and the reconstructed $z$ primary vertex coordinates at L2 (full line) and EF (dashed line). The widths as determined by a fit to the distributions
286 :     are $120~\mu$ and $100~\mu$ respectively.}
287 :     \label{fig:primvtx}
288 :     \end{center}
289 :     \end{figure}
290 :    
291 :    
292 :     \subsection{Tagging variables}
293 :     The HLT $b$-jet tagging methods are based on the transverse and longitudinal
294 :     impact parameters of the reconstructed tracks.
295 :     %In the following the methods on the transverse and longitudinal parameters of the tracks
296 :     %reconstructed are discussed.
297 :     Since the methods are the same for L2 and EF they will be described using L2 variables only.
298 :    
299 :    
300 :     \subsubsection{Transverse impact parameter}
301 :     The most natural choice is to build the $b$-tagging discriminant variable from the transverse impact
302 :     parameter $d_0$ of the reconstructed tracks.
303 :     Since the hadrons containing $b$-quarks have a finite lifetime ($\tau\sim~1.6~ps$),
304 :     tracks from their decays are characterized by large $d_0$ values, while tracks from
305 :     $u$-jets come dominantly from the primary vertex ($d_{vtx} = 0$).
306 :    
307 :     In particular, the significance of the transverse impact parameter $S=d_0/\sigma(d_0)$ is used,
308 :     where $\sigma(d_0)$ is the error on the impact parameter.
309 :     The error on the transverse impact parameter at L2 is parametrized as a function
310 :     of reconstructed $p_T$ as:
311 :     \begin{eqnarray*}
312 :     \sigma(d_0) = \sqrt{p_0^2 + \left({p_1 \over p_T}\right)^{p_2}}
313 :     \end{eqnarray*}
314 :     where $p_0$ is the asymptotic term, $p_1$ is the term due to multiple scattering and $p_2$ is the exponent
315 :     of the multiple scattering contribution (close to two).
316 :     Although L2
317 :     tracking algorithms have recently reached a good level of precision in the error evaluation,
318 :     the above error parametrization at L2 can still be useful in the early running of the experiment. At the EF, the reconstructed error is used.

332 :     shows the distributions
333 :     of the impact parameter significance $d_0/\sigma(d_0)$ for $b$-jets and light jets at L2.
334 :     The significance has been rescaled according to the function
335 :     $f(x)=log(1+|x|)$ in order to have a reasonably uniform bin population along the $x$ axis.
336 :     From these plots it can be guessed that the impact parameter significance is a promising
337 :     choice for the discriminant variable, since the two distribution are very well separated.

368 :     \subsubsection{Longitudinal impact parameter}
369 :    
370 :     The longitudinal impact parameter ($z_0$), i.e. the track's z-intercept, can be adopted,
371 :     as well as the transverse impact parameter, to discriminate between $b$-jets and light jets.
372 :     After the primary vertex position has been reconstructed, the $\delta z_0 = z_0 - z_{vtx}$ variable can be
373 :     used to form a discriminant which can then be used for $b$-jet selection.
374 :     Figure \ref{fig:VarZ0_L2}
375 :     %and \ref{fig:VarZ0_EF}
376 :     shows the distributions
377 :     of the longitudinal impact parameter significance
378 :     ($\delta z_0/\sigma(z_0)$) of $b$-jets and light jets at L2.
379 :     The significance has been rescaled as described above for the transverse impact parameter.
380 :    
381 :    
382 :     As for Figure~\ref{fig:VarD0s_L2},
383 :     the signal and background distributions are different
384 :     although much less so than for the transverse impact parameter significance.
385 :     From this comparison, it is clear
386 :     %. Anyway, from these plots we can
387 :     %already argue
388 :     that most of the discriminant power will be provided by the measured
389 :     transverse impact parameter significance.
390 :     %, which shows a sharper separation between signal and background.
391 :     The worse resolution of the longitudinal impact parameter significance
392 :     is due both to the coarser resolution of the silicon tracking detectors along the $z$-direction,
393 :     bigger extrapolation distance from innermost silicon layer hit to primary vertex at high $\eta$
394 :     and to the resolution of the reconstructed primary vertex.

421 :     \subsection{HLT $b$-jet tagging methods}
422 :    
423 :     In this section, HLT $b$-tagging methods are described.
424 :     The likelihood ratio method is quite general and can be applied to different variables
425 :     while the $\chi^2$ method is essentially designed to test the compatibility of the tracks
426 :     with respect to the primary vertex using the transverse impact parameter.
427 :    
428 :     The likelihood ratio, using information on the signal and background shape that have to be
429 :     estimated on real data, is more powerful but also more difficult to tune while the $\chi^2$
430 :     method can be easily tuned but is less powerful.
431 :    
432 :     \subsubsection{The likelihood-ratio method}
433 :     The likelihood-ratio method is a statistical tool used to separate two or more event classes, and is based on a set of
434 :     characteristic variables.\\
435 :     The likelihood-ratio variable $W$ is evaluated, for a given event, as the ratio between the probability distributions for
436 :     two alternative hypotheses. In its application to $b$-jet selection, the likelihood-ratio variable is defined as
437 :     \begin{displaymath}
438 :     W = S(s)/S(b),
439 :     \end{displaymath}
440 :     where $S(s)$ and $S(b)$ are the probability densities for the signal, the $b$-jets, and the background, represented in
441 :     this case by the $u$-jets.\\
442 :     This variable is widely used to obtain the best possible separation between signal and background, in terms of a single
443 :     variable, in fits aimed at extracting the fraction of signal events in a given sample. The same variable can be also
444 :     directly used, as in the $b$-jet selection case, to select signal events, for example by applying a cut on the
445 :     likelihood-ratio variable itself.\\
446 :     The probability density distributions used in the $b$-tagging application can be functions of some parameter of each track
447 :     (e.g. the transverse impact parameter $d_0$) or of some collective property of the jet (e.g. its track multiplicity). In
448 :     the first case, these distributions take the form
449 :     \begin{eqnarray*}
450 :     s(par_{1}, par_{2}, par_{3}, \dots, par_{n}),\\
451 :     b(par_{1}, par_{2}, par_{3}, \dots, par_{n}),
452 :     \end{eqnarray*}
453 :     where the $1, \dots, n$ indices identify each track belonging to the jet. The corresponding likelihood-ratio variable is
454 :     thus defined as
455 :     \begin{displaymath}
456 :     W = \frac{ s(par_{1}, par_{2}, par_{3}, \dots, par_{n})}
457 :     { b(par_{1}, par_{2}, par_{3}, \dots, par_{n}) }
458 :     \end{displaymath}
459 :     Exact evaluation of the $s$ and $b$ functions is very difficult, since it would require an almost infinite amount of
460 :     simulated data; for example, in order to reasonably populate an $n$-dimensional cube, about 100 entries are needed
461 :     for each dimension, corresponding to $n^{100}$ tracks; even worse, the number of tracks in a jet is not fixed.
462 :     However, if we assume that the variables corresponding to different tracks are independent, the ratio between the overall
463 :     probability densities reduces to the product of the ratios of the single probability densities:
464 :     \begin{displaymath}
465 :     W = \prod_{i=1}^{n} \frac{ s(par_{i}) }{ b(par_{i}) },
466 :     \end{displaymath}
467 :     which is much easier to evaluate.\\
468 :     In the $b$-tagging case, track parameters have complex correlations which depend
469 :     on the proper time for the $B$ hadron and on its decay kinematics. Nevertheless it can be proven that, neglecting these
470 :     correlations, no mistake is made; simply, the discriminant power of the $W$ variable will be slightly reduced.\\
471 :     The $W$ variable, can take any value between $0$ (for the background) and $+\infty$ (for the signal). For practical
472 :     reasons, it is useful to handle a variable defined on a finite interval; to achieve this, $W$ is usually replaced by
473 :     another variable
474 :     \begin{displaymath}
475 :     X = \frac{W}{1+W},
476 :     \end{displaymath}
477 :     which can only range between $0$ and $1$.\\
478 :    
479 :     As an illustration of the method,
480 :     Figures \ref{fig:Dis2Ds_L2} and \ref{fig:Dis2Ds_EF} show the distributions
481 :     of the discriminant variable $X$ which is based on the combination of the transverse and longitudinal
482 :     impact parameter for $b$-jets and light jets respectively at L2 and EF.
483 :     It can be seen that signal events ($b$-jets) accumulate near to $X=1$,
484 :     while the background (light jets) tends to have $X$ close to $0$.

506 :     Contrary to the offline $b$-tagging methods based on likelihood ratio the sign of the impact parameters
507 :     is currently not used at HLT since the RoI direction doesn't give a precise estimation of the $b$-jet direction.
508 :     Future studies will use the impact parameter sign determination described in the next Section.

514 :     Every tagging method will be characterized by the curve showing the light-jet
515 :     rejection
516 :     versus the efficiency to select $b$-jets ($\epsilon_b$).
517 :     The light-jet rejection is defined as the inverse of the efficiency

704 :    
705 :     To tune the online working points so as to ensure the attainment of the overall (i.e. including offline cuts) efficiency goal of 60\% for $b$-jet tagging and avoid biases, it is crucial to evaluate the correlation
706 :     between the online and offline algorithms.
707 :    
708 :    
709 :     The performance of the L2 and EF trigger algorithms based on impact parameters in the transverse plane
710 :     has been compared to that obtained with the corresponding offline algorithm. This
711 :     choice is motivated by the wish to perform a coherent comparison; more exhaustive
712 :     comparison studies will be performed on specific physics selections.
713 :    
714 :     Figure \ref{fig:comp} demonstrates that the L2, EF and Offline selections are well correlated.
715 :     In particular it is always possible to recover the full offline performance at a given
716 :     $b$-jet efficiency if the L2 and EF working points are set at an appropriate higher efficiency.
717 :     In particular for the trigger menu studies shown in the following a working point of about 80\%
718 :     efficiency at L2 and about 70\% at EF have been chosen in order to ensure
719 :     full acceptance for the standard offline working point (60\%).

748 :     the $b$-jet trigger menu has to be built.
749 :     Figure~\ref{fig:finalDP} illustrates the online $b$-jet selection algorithm's performance as evaluated using high statistics samples. The performance of the L2 algorithm is indicated along with
750 :     the performance of the EF algorithm on events which are selected by L2 (at the nominal working point of 80\% efficiency).

771 :     It is clear that the $b$-jet selection can play an important role especially for
772 :     multi $b$-jets events because the selective filtering of $b$-jets can produce
773 :     very high rejection and thereby allow a significant decrease of the L1 thresholds
774 :     while keeping the jet-RoI output rate of L2 and EF almost constant.

802 :     is the luminosity.
803 :    
804 :     The uncertainties in the tables indicate that at high transverse energy, the rate computation is not
805 :     very precise. Nevertheless, with the requirement of keeping the EF output rate at a few Hz for each
806 :     multi $b$-jet signature, trigger menus for different luminosities can be chosen as:
807 :     \begin{itemize}
808 :     \item luminosity $10^{31}~cm^{-2}s^{-1}$:
809 :     ~{\bf 3b23\_3L1J23},
810 :     ~{\bf 3b18\_4L1J18}
811 :     \item luminosity $10^{32}~cm^{-2}s^{-1}$:
812 :     ~{\bf 2b42\_3L1J42}, ~{\bf 3b35\_3L1J35},
813 :     ~{\bf 3b23\_4L1J23},
814 :     ~{\bf 4b18\_4L1J18}
815 :     \item luminosity $10^{33}~cm^{-2}s^{-1}$:
816 :     ~{\bf 2b70\_3L1J70},
817 :     ~{\bf 3b42\_3L1J42},
818 :     ~{\bf 3b35\_4L1J35},
819 :     ~{\bf 4b23\_4L1J23}
820 :     \end{itemize}
821 :     It can be noticed that as the luminosity increases, requiring more $b$-tagged jets is a viable alternative to
822 :     increasing $E_t$ thresholds.

857 :    
858 :     The HLT $b$-tagging is closely following and contributing to the strategies adopted
859 :     by the offline $b$-tagging to measure $b$-jet efficiency on real data since
860 :     the problem is essentially the same. For an explanation of the method and a discussion
861 :     of its performance we refer to the $b$-tagging note on di-jets~\cite{dijets_note}.
862 :    
863 :     In addition to the ``physics'' triggers listed in previous the Section
864 :     , the $b$-jet group has introduced several ``technical'' triggers in order to study rate
865 :     and correlation of the online and offline algorithms:
866 :     \begin{itemize}
867 :     \item single $b$-jet signatures: $b18$, $b23$, $b35$, $b42$, $b70$:
868 :     prescaled to limit their contribution to the EF output to few Hz;
869 :     \item each multi jet item is duplicated with an identical signature which selects, independently
870 :     of the HLT $b$-jet result, one over $n$ events (where $n$ is presently set
871 :     at 1000 but will be tuned according to the rate allocated to $b$-jet triggers).

882 :    
883 :     The HLT $b$-jet selection at L2 and EF stages of the ATLAS High Level Trigger
884 :     has been described and characterized.
885 :     A HLT $b$-tagging trigger menu has been implemented which demonstrates
886 :     the feasibility of increasing the acceptance of events with more then one $b$-jet
887 :     by decreasing L1 jet $E_t$ thresholds while keeping a reasonable output rate
888 :     by introducing a $b$-jet selection at HLT.
